She's Always Hungry - Stories

"Her writing embraces the socially unacceptable, and wryly explores themes of gender, power and violence." -- Granta Best of Young British Novelists 2023 "Clark shrewdly turns her own lens onto us, onto our obsession with true crime and our complicity in the industry it has spawned. . . . She is disturbingly gifted at inventing unrealities that feel uncannily believable." -- New York Times Book Review "A work of show-stopping formal mastery and penetrating intelligence." -- The Guardian

A woman welcomes a parasite into her body.
A teenager longs for perfect skin.
