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.
