I did not personally read the first two stories, as my friend who read it before me said that they both had to do with pregnancy and/or childbirth, which are two very hard nos for me. The third story also involves pregnancy and childbirth, but in not nearly as much detail and personally I was fine reading it. Other than that, I guess the constant in all of the stories is death? So if you aren't in the mood to read about people dying, maybe sit this one out.lovelymisanthrope's review against another edition

"Cursed Bunny" is a collection of short stories that are both haunting and creepy. This was such an excellent way for me to kick off October.
Overall, I was really captivated by most of the stories, and I was impressed with the writing. The first short story, "The Head", has haunted me since I read it. In this tale, a woman is haunted by her own waste. The story is told in graphic detail, and it left me slightly concerned about what I may be flushing down the toilet. This was also such a bold choice for the first short story. "The Head" really set the tone for the weird horror that was about to follow.
I really appreciated that each story had its moment, and each story was fleshed out enough that I felt like I was reading a collection of novellas. Additionally, I appreciated that all of the stories were different, but equally unsettling. I had the same feeling of "what the hell am I reading" throughout the entire book, all while I got to enjoy different stories.
Overall, I really enjoyed these stories and I look forward to trying to find something similar in tone to read in the future.
