This was just a sampler but I will definitely be giving the full collection of short stories a try. I love how Eliza Clark experiments with the ways to tell a story. This sample, the short story was told entirely through restaurant reviews and was pretty amusing. Gave me Welcome to Night Vale vibes

I requested this sampler as I did this with Clark’s Penance too and it ended up paying dividends as I was eventually sent the full book too. Sadly not this time but I will absolutely be buying it after reading this short story. Surreal and hilarious, I knew from Boy Parts that Clark would become one of our strongest and most original contemporary writers and I was correct. Her mind ugh

So, so bizarre.

Like what have I just read? But also, I want to continue. I think?

A very unique read to say the least

I loved this sample of She’s Always Hungry, I absolutely now need to go and purchase the full book as I’m so intrigued as to what this story’s was about and where it is was going.

She’s Always Hungry is a collection of dark and daring short stories that highlight Eliza Clark’s bold and unique voice in contemporary UK fiction. Each tale explores themes of desire, obsession, and the surreal, woven with Clark’s signature dark humour. The writing is undeniably compelling, and the originality shines through, yet I found myself wanting more from these stories.

Many of the intriguing premises felt just a bit too brief, leaving me with a sense of incompleteness that was especially disappointing as a fan of her previous work. While this collection solidifies Clark’s talent, I just wish these stories had taken that extra step to feel truly complete.

I will read anything Eliza Clark writes! Now bought the full version so really looking forward to getting stuck in

I really need to read the whole thing now. I love Eliza Clark's writing. Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for a free e-arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I can’t wait to read the full size version of this when it comes out, I really enjoyed my time with this one.

Having now read this collection, this story is definitely my favourite.
Weird and wonderful from Eliza Clark, hands down one of my favourite writers.

Sampler was good. I really enjoyed these stories by Eliza Clark. I’ve been following her running care this entire time so if you like body horror, you’re going to love this.

I received a sampler from Eliza Clark’s debut collection She's Always Hungry. The story provided is called The Shadow Over Little Chitaly. This was a really entertaining read.

It is told through a series of reviews. We start to get a sense that something isn't quite right with this food joint called Little Chitaly right away.

People are ordering from all over the place geographically and yet the food is delivered in as few as ten minutes. The food is delivered by a person in a motorcycle helmet driving in a car.

The menu seems to be different for whoever is looking at it at the time. The ingredients are slightly off, some are substituted unexpectedly, other times it's a mystery what you've actually received.

When you call to get a refund, nobody answers. Sometimes you get a refund before you even reach out.

The reviews eventually reference each other and it's pretty funny. Something is definitely off about this place and you're going to want to learn more. Don't worry, one of the reviewers left their insta handle, if you have any information or want to learn more follow @hanna_special_pizza

Really enjoyed this one and can't wait for the collection to be published. It's already on order and on hold from my library.

A deliciously weird sample story from Ms Clark's new book, highlighting so many things to do with fast food, delivery drivers and the need to assuage hunger.
If only there were pictures to illustrate the increasingly bizarre pizza fusions!
Thank you to netgalley and Faber and Faber for an advance copy of this book

I really enjoyed this sneak peek and cannot wait to read the full collection. Big thank you for access to this sample!

My snippet only included one story from this collection, a strange, escalating series of pizza shop reviews; but I really enjoyed it! Eliza Clark is a brilliant author and I'll follow her wherever she goes

As this was only a sampler I can’t say too much but from the little bit I did read I’ve a feeling I’ll really enjoy this. Very funny and great writing.

I loved reading this sampler and it's definitely got me hungry to read the full version, I cannot wait.

Brief but brilliant on so many levels. I was laughing (and empathising with the reviewers) all the way through this short story. But the abrupt end, I must confess, give me a bit of the shivers.
Touching on our obsession With instant gratification, Internet, conspiracies, fusion food, and the cult of food, peculiarity, (I was literally crying at the vegan option!) this story is short, but perfectly formed.
Cannot wait for the book to devour the rest.

I really enjoyed this sampler. Had me laughing out loud. Can’t wait for the rest! The humour in it was just up my street

I adored this sampler, actually had me laughing out loud whilst reading and had to explain it to my husband. Some of the humour really tickled me, ‘ ‘salted crackers and fried prawns’ can’t wait to attend the book tour and read the full book!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this short story ARC!

I love Eliza Clark and have read her other works. This story is dark with lots of humour in the same way as her previous novels.

I cannot wait to read the whole collection. This did not disappoint!
