A delightfully dark and ravenous tale of morality vs mortality, that asks what you d sacrifice for your health. Perfect for fans of Monika Kim and Sayaka Murata. Hannah is dying for a cure. After a decade subsumed by a cancer diagnosis, Hannah is now thirty, existing in a hinterland between life and death. Her boyfriend Scott has become more of a carer than a lover, and - with no job, no plans, and no more options - she has resigned herself to no future. But then she s given the opportunity to join phase one of a clinical trial that might just save her. Almost immediately, she feels different; that evening, her appetite returns. And it keeps growing... Now Hannah is hungry for life. A committed vegetarian, Hannah suddenly finds herself craving meat - but her new hunger isn t limited to food. Now she wants everything. As new and suppressed desires surface she becomes reckless, destructive, and deceitful. It s the miracle drug she s been waiting for, but at what cost? This unique addition to the Weird Girl Lit tradition brings readers face to face with the visceral terror of being trapped in a body that has turned against its master. In a world where women are rewarded for their restraint, A HEALTHY APPETITE introduces us to a character whose insatiable hunger is as vital for survival as the blood that runs through her veins.
