She's Always Hungry
'Playful, Sometimes Depraved And Often Laugh-Out-Loud Funny' Colin Walsh
SINOPSE
'No one is writing like Eliza Clark.' Nicola Dinan
'Eleven surreal, troubling and frankly gross little worlds. How I loved my time in them.' Saba Sams
'Visceral and transgressive, eerie and playful, sometimes depraved and often laugh-out-loud funny.' Colin Walsh
'I gobbled them up in one sitting.' Camilla Grudova
Visceral, speculative body horror from the author of BOY PARTS and PENANCE - the first collection from a major voice in British fiction
A teenager longs for perfect skin. A scientist tends to fragile alien flora. A young man takes the night into his own hands. Each of these characters has a desperate desire. Can any of them be sated?
Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humour, Eliza Clark's debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.
'A firecracker of a book.' Guardian

OPINIÃO DOS LEITORES
Mixed genre fun
Caia
I’m not one for short stories books but it was a book club reading, and in the end I actually enjoyed it overall. I had fun, was disgusted, sad, and enraged by the stories. There’re really good themes in them, and it was cool to see the writer explore different genres. My favourites were Goth GF and Extinction Event, but also really liked Nightstalkers and Company Men, and The King was really fun.
