I can tell part of this book has a bit of a cultural wall I can't break through. Some stories shined regardless of that but others felt like a story told to me in passing.

You gotta like and be open to a lot of genres to truly enjoy this book, magic realism, fantasy, fables. You have to be okay to not have all the answers cause if you don't, you'll end up like me disappointed. Wanting more or feeling like there was space for a few more pages to give a more concise closure.

I must say, this entire book is like a nightmare that comes to life on the pages. It's full of nonsensical yet eerie stories that will have you gasping for breath in every chapter.

My personal favorite is "Scars." Though the ending left me a bit confused, I was pleased with the length of the story, and I was truly impressed by the author's ability to build tension slowly but surely, culminating in an unforgettable twist at the end. If only we could have more pages for this chapter!

Overall, reading this book was an enjoyable and captivating experience for me. I managed to read more than 100 pages in just one hour, which is a testament to the book's gripping nature. There were, however, a couple of chapters that felt somewhat out of place, but the author's storytelling skills ensured that I was still engrossed in the tale.

I can see why "Cursed Bunny" was hyped up so much back then, and I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling horror read. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it's one of the most mind-bending books I've ever encountered!
