We are very excited to collaborate with our dear friends at CHAPTER 34, an independent bookshop just round the corner from us in Shoreham by Sea. Each month they are handpicking a small curated selection for our customers at Neighbourhood Store.
Every aspect of CHAPTER 34 is designed to help you discover new books, ideas, and encourage you to look beyond what you usually read. Their shelves are arranged according to themes such as ‘The Self Shelf’ and ‘Wanderlust’, so you can discover new stories, ideas and wonders.
Chapter 34 stands against racism sexism, homophobia, transphobia and the oppression of all marginalised communities. They do this by carrying and promoting books by a diverse range of authors, over a diverse range of subjects. If you are in town you simply must pop in, be prepared to overstay a 'pop in' mind. The serve coffee too so get comfortable and enjoy!

Now about this book...
A delightfully dark and ravenous tale of morality vs mortality, that asks what you’d sacrifice for your survival. 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 itself.
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.
