Having read Boyparts for our book club I was very interested in this sample story. Was pretty bizarre and I loved it!! Can’t wait to read more!!!

An excellent taste of Eliza's short story collection- consider me intrigued! I really enjoyed this - although not sure how I feel about Chitaly pizza!

"She's Always Hungry" by Eliza Clark is a dark, gritty novel that dives into obsession and self-destructive behavior with an unflinching honesty. The main character’s inner turmoil and compulsions are portrayed in a way that’s both unsettling and captivating. Clark’s writing style is raw and edgy, making the narrative feel immediate and intense. While it’s not always an easy read due to its heavy themes, the book is incredibly compelling and thought-provoking. If you’re into stories that explore the darker sides of human nature, this one’s for you.

I already love this book just from this sampler. I love how Eliza Clark is playing with format and style and somehow manages to make me feel so much from the most mundane of things. Cant wait to read the whole collection.

How incredible will this book be if this 13-pages-pdf gave me the chills? I finished this sampler eager to keep reading about the story and wanting to know what was going on. And I'm usually a difficult person to love creepy stories.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Faber and Faber for the opportunity to read this! I adored it.

Weird, but I’m into it. I do think this strange epistolary story told through takeaway reviews might not be totally representative of Clark’s style but I can’t wait to read the whole thing.

"The Cloud over Little Chitaly" is just one of the short stories in Eliza Clark's new release, She's Always Hungry. It is written as a series of reviews on JustEat of a restaurant called Little Chitaly. This is not a format I have experienced before and it really intrigued me. The reviews were a mixture of funny, obscure, and unsettling. By the end of the chapter/short story my curiosity peaked and I was dying to find out more about this odd little restaurant. I really enjoyed the author's writing style and I look forward to reading the rest of the book upon its release. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers Faber for the opportunity to read a sample of She's Always Hungry. As always, all opinions are my own.

As much as I am curious as to what happens after this sampler, I found the format of reviews moving the plot forward a bit challenging, especially because it was rather long for such a format.
I do not know what to expect - not in the ‘it is so mysterious and thrilling, you can’t guess what is about to come’ sense so much, but rather it is impossible to assess if I would be immersed in the following steps of this story.
It is ambiguous for my tastes. With that being said, I am still happy to give the full book a go. Perhaps the sampler was just not for me; though I am all for new narrative formats, devices, hybrid genres, and anything new and compelling in storytelling. And perhaps, if the sampler were longer, I would have felt more rewarded as a reader, and been more engaged with the story.

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read this as an arc

Obviously this is just a sample so I can’t give a too in dept review but from what I got I was intrigued and can’t wait to get the book. Also, I liked the writing and humor so much that I immediately went to get this author’s other work.

I will update this, once the book comes out and I finish the rest

Ehh this was a weird story to choose for a sampler. I haven’t read anything from this author before…and I’m not sure if I’ll pick this up when it comes out. It wasn’t bad but it just didn’t give me enough to go off of.

Absolutely fascinating what is available and I’m really excited to read the rest when it comes out.

There’s not much else to say as this was a sampler and not even the full chapter.

Thank you so much to Netgalley for a sample of Eliza Clarks new book.

I absolutely adored Eliza's previous works, Boy Parts and Penance, and can confidently say she is one of my favourite authors. I adore her storytelling and creativity, and always find myself completely compelled by her writing. This sample was only short, but straight away I need more. Already I can tell that this will be brilliant just like her previous works, and I am so excited for it's release. I already cannot wait for my preorder of this to arrive. I'm excited to see what else Eliza has in store for us.

the first chapter is very captivating and it was a surprise because of the way the story was written!

can’t wait to read more of this unique collection of stories when it will be released on november 7!

thank you NetGalley & Faber for providing me with a sampler of this book ahead of its release in exchange for an honest review!

I loved this story. Eliza Clark is such an imaginative writer and this collection seems like it's going to be amazing. I'm looking forward to the release of She's Always Hungry.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.

The snippet is pretty interesting. It’s a really unique way of formatting a story, I won’t lie it took me a moment to get into it, but worked surprisingly well.

Feels a bit more realistic and rooted in (slightly unhinged) realism than I had expected and kinda wanted a bit more in terms of the absurdity but it’s definitely a little on the spooky side.

Didn’t feel like it had much of a payoff though, but I suppose that’s the point of a sampler! You’re left wanting more, but it’s definitely a good little taster.

She’s Always Hungry by Eliza Clark:

This is a review of the one chapter of a book of short stories. And it fulfills Stephen King’s definition of what one is, a kiss in the dark from a stranger. ‘The Shadow Over Little Chitaly’ is online reviews of a takeaway, where the food appears to regress to its original state. It’s possibly the weirdest, most unsettling thing I’ve read for years. Maybe if Faber and Faber send me the rest of the book, I can make an informed decision on the other content before November 7th. #shesalwayshungry

My love and appreciation of short stories has recently been rekindled and the excerpt I got from this collection is a big part of it.

I read the story titled "The Shadow over Little Chitaly" that was kindly provided to me by NetGalley and the publisher. It was just great. A short, whip-smart, funny, absurd little story written as reviews of a restaurant called Little Chitaly, from customers on JustEat.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to get my hands on the full collection in a few weeks.

Thank you to netgalley for an advanced sampler to review!
This short story collection is summed up great by the Chitaly story. Funny, strangely compelling and quietly sinister, this story is exactly what I come to expect from Eliza Clark. Something always seems as though it is lurking beneath the surface which makes the reader compelled to find out more. Written through reviews, the format gives something different to the standard anthology or collection and is a fun way to consume the media.

This short sample from Eliza Clark’s new collection was short but extremely poignant. I can’t wait to read the full collection when it arrives. Love her previous work and I am sure that this will be nothing short of amazing. Thank you Faber for the sample!

This one short story -The Shadow Over Little Chitaly- from She’s Always Hungry had my undivided attention. I loved the formatting and style of this short story. At first I was unsure how the format would work in terms of story telling but it worked out really well. The Shadow Over Little Chitaly was unlike anything I’ve ever read before and I wish I had more She’s Always Hungry to read. I love Eliza Clark’s slightly unhinged plots and stories. Her delivery of story telling is always immaculate. I will definitely be getting this book to read when it is published.
