I have no idea what I just read but I'm definitely intrigued to read more! Looking forward to this whole book coming out.

Absolutely brilliant, loved it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me an advance copy, I will definitely be recommending.

Ohh I was fooled again and thought the netgalley was for the whole book and I was so excited! I must remember to check this before applying as it has happened twice now with Eliza Clark books!!

The cover is sublime and it made me want to read it immediately. Unfortunately this sampler is only one story from the short story collection "The Shadow Over Little Chitaly", and whilst it was definitely good and had me hooked - I wanted more from it in regards to creepiness. It was certainly weird and uncomfortable, which I loved, but I wanted to be a little bit spooked or creeped out too - like how the cover makes you feel.

I do think I will still one day read the entire collection.

This short story was hilarious, I don't know what I was expecting but this was definitely not it!! This story is composed of reviews of a very bizarre restaurant, sometimes chinese, others indian and others italian.

This was my first time reading Eliza Clark and now I need to read everything that she has ever published!!

After reading the sampler, I'm even more excited for the book. Funny, weird and a bit wild. What more do you want? Can't wait!

This short “story” is mad and so funny. It’s not exactly a story as it’s a pile of reviews about a very strange take away but one individual keeps going back for more! Definitely would read more!

The short story was good. Basically a bunch of restaurant reviews which reveal a story, which I thought was a fun method of writing. Definitely felt like reading more and got a little scared at the end. Excited for the full book.

Not sure I got this. I'm sure it'd be more intriguing in the context of the wider book, but I think a more cohesive story would have been a better sampler for the full text.

Didn't realise this was just a sample of She's Always Hungry and I started reading it and was DEVASTATED when it ended and I realised it wasn't the whole book because I was so into it! I love Eliza Clark so was extremely excited for this anyway but now I'm absolutely rabid for November to come so I can get my hands on this!

I hadn't noticed that this was only a sample lol. It's the first thing I have ever read from Eliza Clark. I thought it was a really fun and unique format, and I got really invested in the reviews and seeing what unhinged thing would happen next. I'd love to read more of the stories in here

Sampler was alright the formatting was a bit odd so it threw me off. don't think this book is for me so I won't be going on to purchase the book

This was such a darkly fun story, told through reviews. It had horrifying undertones and left me ravenous for more of Clark’s writing.

I loved this short story sampler and I'm really looking forward to the full book! Eliza Clark's humour, wit, and dark comic voice is as raw and engaging in a series of restaurant reviews as it is in a full-length novel.

I need more! Such a weird little story, and yet it managed to intrigue me. Looking forward to reading the whole collection.

This 'She's Always Hungry' sampler included one short story called 'The Shadow Over Little Chitaly' which is only one of the many stories set to be released in this collection.
The short story basically read as a series of multiple bad/ odd reviews from people who had varying experiences with a restaurant called Little Chitaly. The reviews were mostly negative but mainly inferred that this 'Little Chitaly' restaurant was far from typical and extremely peculiar. Found this format of reviews as a short story to be incredibly funny and amusing as this is how I would often read user reviews of local restaurants - just turned out that this collection of reviews was much more entertaining.
And that last reply from Little Chitaly to regretful-return-buyer Hannah? Pure comedy!
Can't wait for the release of this book. I'm pre-ordering! Haha

Reviewing for the short story column in Mslexia issue 104 (I didn't realise this was a sampler!)
Full review to come. Thank you for the ARC!

Okay that was a bit strange. The "story" they included felt so random, and I didn't realize it was a sampler (even though I should be paying attention as a bookstagrammer). It left me feeling a bit annoyed! I haven't come across anything like this before on net galley - or at least something I would be requesting to read, so it took me by surprise. As for the story itself, it was just a series of fake reviews, which didn't provide a solid reading experience and made it hard to judge the book's quality. I don’t see how this type of sampler is useful for book reviewers trying to generate interest in the entire book. Based on this short "story," which like I said is just fake reviews, I can't give it a higher rating since it lacks any real substance. I hope the final collection is better, and I’d love to update my review!

This was such a unique way of formatting a short story!

I loved this, creepy, weird - the instagram account mentioned is real and even more weird. Very much looking forward to reading the rest of the collection!

I was sooooo excited to get the email saying I'd been approved for this ARC, and then I got so disappointed when I realised it was actually only a sampler. But what I did read was great, and it's just made me that much more hype for when the book really does come out and I get to read it

This is a great sample and I'd love to be able to read the whole book. The book cover looks great and is super appealing.
