This short sampler was a great taster for Eliza Clark's new short story collection. Even this short snippet was full of intrigue, an element I've loved about Eliza's previous novels. I can't wait to pick this one up!

I loved Penance so was looking forward to reading this She's Always Hungry (sampler).

Unfortunately the document has disappeared from my Kindle prior to the publication so I have been unable to read it.

To protect the star rating I will give the average.

I'm not disappointed with this sampler. I'm not a short story gal myself. I have read a few but never felt blown over by them by I am excited to try this one

Sounds absolutely bonkers from the sample I received - I didn’t think I could get any more excited for this release than I already was but now I am SO intrigued.

Fantastic! I’m super excited to read the full version when it’s released.
The story I read was absolute madness! I don’t know how I feel about a takeaway being half Chinese and half Italian but also being Australian. The reviews made me cry out laughing.

Im not a short story girly but this might be the first short story collection that I buy!!! I can't wait

Silly! I have had a hard time getting into their previous works, but this was accessible and a great company with the changing weather~

This was an excellent sample – classic Clark humour and strangeness. Made me ravenous for the full collection.

Disappointed that this was only a sampler.. please give me the full copy ASAP!! 10/10 from the snippet I read - weird and wonderful!

I need the full book NOW. I am desperate please.

Eliza Clark has rocketed to the top of my “authors to look for” list. I want everything she writes.

I've read the sampler story, it's interesting and I'd try more of Eliza Clark's work, but I was left feeling really confused.

I really enjoyed the short story Little Chitaly. It was in such an interesting format, made up solely of restaurant reviews, but it still managed to tell such an intriguing, bizarre story that I wanted to know more about in a short space of time. This was a great sampler that gave me a taste of the quirkiness to come in this short story collection and I had a great time reading it.

So being a sampler there was just one story. If this is an indication of the rest of the book I'll definitely be buying it.

The Shadow Over Little Chitaly is a story in the form of reviews regarding a Chinese/Italian fusion takeaway. It was absolutely hilarious. Customers receiving the most bizarre combinations of food from a take away hundreds of miles away. Hannah is the only repeat reviewer and she even goes looking for the mysterious premises.

Genius. Brilliant. Loved it. Definitely going on my Tp Buy list.

Thankyou Netgalley and Faber & Faber for the advance review copy.

I love Eliza Clark and will most definitely be purchasing this book when it comes out to read all of the short stories.

I am really intrigued to read the whole book. I like the style of this so far and would love to get into it.

A very apt opening that shows how our generation has been induced by technology, the need to share, conspiracy theories, and of course weird food trends.

Story one is a combination of reviews posted about a takeaway that is half Chinese and half Italian with strange speciality dishes. Weirdly, it delivers unbelievably fast to all parts of the UK.
The reviews range from annoyed, derivative, classic British appreciation and ignorance, and reoccurring intrigued customers.

I did not realise this was a sampler when I received the arc, however this is a promising start. I wonder if there will be a theme throughout!

Sampler gifted by NetGalley.

I was lucky enough to receive an Advanced Readers Copy of "The Shadow Over Little Chitaly," one of the short stories in Eliza's collection. I LOVED it! The story is told in an unusual way, which I imagine is not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. If this is an example of the quality of the collection, then I cannot wait to read the rest.

5/5 stars!

Thanks to NetGalley and Faber for the ARC

Such a weird little short story sampler! However, Eliza is a queen and I’ll read anything she writes, including mysterious restaurant reviews. She’s always Hungry and I’m very hungry for more! Cant wait for the release.

Never read Eliza Clark but have been meaning to for a while. This short story has risen her to the top of my to-read-pile. What a weird and bizarre yet funny little short story. Delightful

Thank you faber for providing me a sneak peek into Eliza Clarks latest release, the short story 'the shadow over little chitaly'. this book jumps right into it, made up entirely of reviews of a restaurant that may or may not exist? the reviews start off normal and quickly reveals the surreal and absurd nature and existence of this mysterious restaurant. at first i was quite confused, but i soon enough become thoroughly intrigued and the ambiguity that alludes to something more sinister. can't wait to read the full collection once the novel is released!
