5.0

This was an absolutely wonderful short story collection. So sharp, funny and dark. I enjoyed every single one, and my favourites were Extinction Event, Hollow Bones, and She’s Always Hungry

Based on some of these stories, I think Clark would write an incredible sci-fi horror novel. The way she explored cosmic horror and climate change was just so riveting. I lived every single moment. 

The stories were also really heartfelt sometimes! Nightstalker and Extinction Event made me particularly emotional.

Clark has a talent for capturing different POVs. Her narrators take on a life of their own. Some stories were serious and more grounded in prose. Others had a more relaxed, personal style that was reminiscent of Boy Parts. 

I think Clark is a very, very strong author. I wasn’t a fan of Boy Parts but that was just personal preference. Both of its successors have absolutely blown me away. I’m excited to see what she comes up with next.
