Eliza Clark's "She's Always Hungry" is a collection of eleven short stories that delve into themes of desire, consumption, and the human body's vulnerabilities. Her narratives cover various genres, including horror, science fiction, and dark comedy, each story offering a unique perspective on contemporary anxieties. "Build a Body Like Mine" was my personal favourite of the overall collection, closely followed by "Goth GF". "Hollow Bones" absolutely freaked me out (in the best way possible!), whereas "The Shadow Over Little Italy" simply confused me - maybe I didn't understand it. Stories like "Shake Well" and "Company Man" were upsetting (also in a good way!), and "The King" just... weird? Overall, I really enjoyed every story - each weirder than the other! If you enjoyed Motherthing, Lapvona, or Boy Parts, this one is for you!
