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.

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC opportunity. However, this was very odd. This is the 1st time an ARC has only been a small portion of a book and I have to say, if the rest of the book is like the sample then I don't have high hopes for it. If I wanted to read bad food reviews then I'd just check out the JustEat website and pick a crappy restaurant. Thumbs down from me.
