From Eliza Clark, the author of the brilliant novels Boy Parts and Penance and one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists, comes a fierce, visionary and darkly comic story collection. A woman welcomes a parasite into her body. A teenager longs for perfect skin. A scientist tends to fragile alien flora. A young man takes the night into his own hands. Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humor, Eliza Clark’s debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.

3.5 but I'm rounding up because I did really enjoy it. I just somehow didn't realise it was a short story collection and I'm not really a short story girlie because I'm always left hungry for more I guess- on brand for this particular collection. I absolutely adored Little Chitaly, felt like a Magnus Archives statement. Hollow Bones was interesting but it's so hard to do good sci/fi in such a short amount of time there's just so much being thrown at you and not enough pages to be immersed before it's over. I enjoyed the humour of The King, had me laughing to myself lile a little loon.
