She's Always Hungry
By Eliza Clark
Harry Hartog's review
Eliza Clark strikes again with this collection of short stories. Each one reflects different levels of grotesqueness and disturbing content while simultaneously showcasing an assortment of genres. With each new story I was fully invested and while I tried guessing what was going to happen next, the plot twists never allowed for that luxury! I absolutely adored her references to internet culture and some of the problems associated with it, from self-image to conspiracy theories and so much more. For those familiar with the term “creepypasta,” this book will feel reminiscent of the horror-based internet phenomenon that while often contains many content warnings, still has something to offer everyone. - Lily, Harry Hartog Macquarie
Description
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.
