A darkly comic story collection of cinematic body horror and speculative fiction. Moving from California to Newcastle, from Frontier-era America to an unexplored planet in the near future, from a pub down the road to an incel-occupied office IT department, She's Always Hungry revels in every aspect of being human.
This is a book that seems crafted from the stuff of our deepest fears and our most illicit desires ... Clark, you realise, isn’t a writer who will keep very long to any one path. This collection, full of shock and surprises, filth and wonder, is occasionally hard to reckon with, but harder still to forget.
It’s refreshing to read an author who doesn’t feel pigeonholed by the genre in which she has found success, but these stories feel baggy compared to Clark’s typically razor-sharp approach.
