NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ""BEST HORROR FICTION OF 2024""

From Eliza Clark, the author of the brilliant novels Boy Parts and Penance and one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists, comes a fierce, visionary and darkly comic story collection.

A woman welcomes a parasite into her body.

A teenager longs for perfect skin.

A scientist tends to fragile alien flora.

A young man takes the night into his own hands.

Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humor, Eliza Clark’s debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.

Movie adaptation when?

Loved this, I hope Eliza goes on to write a few horror novels. Hollow Bones was my favorite of the collection, I was making a movie in my mind the entire time. I loved the world she built so quickly and the dangers inside it.

Unique stories, well narrated

I really enjoyed this overall, some stories more than others. I'm usually not a fan of short stories, but the author did an excellent job with character development for such short format.

very descriptive or graphic

it's not your typical horror anthology. that's why I both like and disliked this book.

Brilliant and cynical

I enjoyed the book very much. athe author creates mesmerizing post-apocalyptic, dark worlds where power struggles are foremost. Clarke also deals with women's issues of body image in dark metaphorical stories which are very powerful.
She's a delightful, cynical reader, Unfortunately I had to give up on one of the stories, read by a man a very tight British regional accent, which I really couldn't understand.

Great reading

the stories were very creepy and the narrators were great. really enjoyed these stories and I'll listen again
