Our take
AI-draftedClark's follow-up to Penance trades a single unreliable narrator for eleven, and the range is the point: body horror sits next to post-apocalyptic satire next to something close to straight literary fiction about disordered eating, unified only by an appetite metaphor that never gets heavy-handed. Reviewers praised Clark's control of tone even when the material is bleak.
In the press
“A firecracker of a book that blends horror with speculative fiction and fantasy as it delves into themes of gender and power.”
The Guardian“The joy of reading She's Always Hungry lies in never knowing what kind of story you'll encounter next.”
