From the author of Boy Parts and Penance, Eliza Clark delivers her much-anticipated debut short story collection, brimming with visceral, speculative body horror and her signature dark humor. In this collection, a teenager longs for perfect skin, a scientist tends to fragile alien flora, and a young man takes the night into his own hands. These stories explore the depths of desire and hunger – the most basic of human feelings – all while challenging the limits of body and mind.

With eleven surreal, unsettling, and often grotesque tales, Clark dives deep into troubling worlds that are both eerie and playful, sometimes depraved, and often laugh-out-loud funny. Critics have called it "disturbing and unputdownable," "effortlessly blending hilarity and devastation," and praised her writing as "phenomenal."
