this book was amazing and a few of these stories will definitely stay with me for a long time

the head: 5/5 haunting. amazing.

the embodiment: 5/5 body horror, so creepy 

cursed bunny: 4.5/5 great story about capitalism

the frozen finger: 3/5 harder to understand but atmosphere is great

snare: 4.5/5 like a fairytale

goodbye, my love: 4/5 most realistic one 

scars: 2.5/5 dragged out too much 

home sweet home: 4/5 quite realistic and eerie

ruler of the winds and sands: 3.5/5 felt like something was missing, but read like a fairytale 

reunion: 4.5/5 heartbreaking

“no one asked us, when we were still nameless
whether we wanted to live or not 
now i wander the big city alone
looking in doors and windows 
waiting and waiting for something…”

The stories held within Cursed Bunny are blisteringly cruel and terribly beautiful. They are horrors, myths and fairytales that reflect the sharp teeth of grief and the scars of survival. I have never read anything quite like these stories and could never imagine one similar to them if I tried. Chung is a brilliant writer and inventor of fables, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

3.5

Dark and twisted short stories with some fiction, some feminism, some feces, some torture and a lot more.
And (for me) lots of horror (like really body horror right on the first short story) and that's not fully my jam. 
I found some story's amazing and others really not, but overall interesting. So 3.5 is the middle ground for me.
