She’s Always Hungry - Eliza Clark
(The Shadow of Little Chitaly)

I have more questions than ever after reading this. I’m pretty sure the description I read when requesting this ARC didn’t highlight that it was a short story, part of a larger collection. Hence me being extremely confused when reading what appeared to be a collection of reviews for a takeaway.

However, after looking back at the description and getting a better idea of what the ARC actually was, it made a lot more sense (kind of). I still have no idea what it was about, why the delivery driver spoke in an Australian accent, delivered to houses hundreds of miles away and put apple on their Hawaiian pizza. Although, the review about the option to order ‘boneless pizza’ made me laugh out loud.

It was weird, made me slightly uncomfortable but also made me laugh. I didn’t hate it, but I am extremely confused.

Thank you NetGalley and Faber and Faber for the ARC in return for an honest review!

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this short story

Reading this I felt like I had been thrown in halfway through a book since it was only 13 pages long so I felt a bit lost in its journey

finito di leggere in poco tempo questo raccontino, molto interessante, particolare per lo stile e la modalità. un po' weird, decisamente strano, non vedo l'ora di leggere il resto della raccolta!

Omg so chilling! Read it so fast in one sitting and got myself scared to death.
Also funny because I’m italian and all the pizza references with wrong ingredients were soo funny

The ARC for this book was an excerpt from the short story ‘The Shadow over Little Chitaly’ and I must say I completely absorbed it. I need more ASAP!!

I absolutely loved this short peek at She's Always Hungry. Eliza Clark is one of the best, most engaging and singular writers around. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a sneak peek!
