She's Always Hungry
Synopsis
Eliza Clark's first story collection takes one primal feeling, hunger, and follows it into eleven strange, funny, and frequently disturbing directions. A woman desperate to control her body swallows something she shouldn't. An online review forum for a Chinese-Italian fusion takeaway slowly reveals something monstrous beneath the town. In a matriarchal coastal society, the men succumb, one by one, to a sea-borne madness.
Moving from California to Newcastle, from frontier-era America to an unexplored planet, from a grimy pub to an incel-infested IT department, the stories in She's Always Hungry embrace the full range of speculative and horror fiction while keeping Clark's signature wit and unsettling eye for human appetite. Playful, sometimes depraved, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it is a cinematic, genre-hopping debut collection about wanting more than you can ever be fed.
