Anthony's good, but his series always run out of steam (if he could just have stuck to two or three books per series). Ramsey Campbell, one of my favorite horror writers is also British. And Grant Morrison (Scots) is a terrific comics writer (currently working my way through The Invisibles in trade paperback) I have a good friend who loves Bass.

I figured there'd be some inventions but I didn't feel like making the effort to look them up (DNA, of course, was discovered in England, but slightly outside the 50-year timeframe). Thanks.
