A Guardian and Dazed Book of the Year

Visceral, speculative body horror from the author of BOY PARTS and PENANCE - the first collection from a major voice in British fiction

A teenager longs for perfect skin. A scientist tends to fragile alien flora. A young man takes the night into his own hands. Each of these characters has a desperate desire. Can any of them be sated?

Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humour, Eliza Clark's debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.
