❝ Once you experience a terrible trauma and understand the world from an extreme perspective, it is difficult to overcome this perspective. Because your very survival depends on it. ❞

I was stunned reading this book; reading every chapter; every short story in this book. I read a few books that are about short story collections, and I can guarantee, this one is my favourite. In total, there are ten short stories in this book. I won’t let out every story but my favourite was the Cursed Bunny. Not because this one has a similar title to the entire book but I love how in this story, they examine a family who made or created cursed things and how they dealt with a certain one of those things. But I can ensure, that all of the short stories in this book was so intriguing to read and it has made me curious to find out more about the author, also want to read more horror story like this book. Besides, this book has everything; magical realism, horror, and sci-fi. I am not tired and bored through this book. Plus, each story has its own feels. I mean, they lean to be on the creepier side in every shorty. Oh, I just want to say— shut up and read Cursed Bunny!!

dark reflective

5.0

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.

“That was the first time he sobbed in earnest. Not the cries of someone driven mad with fear, but the tears of someone who understood and was saddened by their own loneliness—the tears of a human being.”
