She's Always Hungry by Eliza Clark

One of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists 2023 and the author of Penance delivers a staggering short story collection filled with unforgettable tales of insatiable desires and her sublimely dark humour.

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.

From the author of Penance and Boy Parts.
