As a lover of Eliza Clark's novels and a hater of short story collections in general, no one was more surprised than me that I think I enjoyed this most out of everything that Eliza Clark has written. My favourite of the stories were The Shadow Over Little Chitaly - told in JustEat reviews, a story of a very off-putting and bizarre Chinese/Italian takeaway - Extinction Event - climate change and capitalism has decimated Earth but one scientist has found a potential miracle plant (?) from another planet that could save it - and The King - a cannibalistic member of a "master race" that is human but not in the face of doomsday and its aftermath. My least favourites were Build A Body Like Mine - a parasite story that read too closely to Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca - and Shake Well - nothing really seemed to happen in this story of a black market acne cream.

I really hope that Eliza Clark writes more genre fiction, particularly sci-fi, in the future because I LOVED those stories so much and I'm already dying for more books by her even though this only came out two months ago!
