Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung

dark mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

I completely understand why this has made it to the international booker short list! Each of these stories immediately grabbed me by the throat, and just when I thought I knew what was going on/where it was going to go, I’d be jerked in a totally unexpected direction. Despite each story being fairly drastically different in content and style (we’ve got horror, we’ve got fables, we’ve got sci fi!), you can still tell that they’re in many ways linked. They’re all so clever and well written! I really loved all of these stories, but I’d probably say Cursed Bunny and The Head were my favorites. I came for the cover and have stayed for the stories, I could see myself coming back to read these again!
