I devoured this. Bunny is unhinged and fucked up but I reveled in its fucked up ness. It's a standout with how absurd, funny yet so horrifying at times it got a little overwhelming. It's so so weird. Experimental. It's horror is laced with black comedy with rightful criticism about the pretensiousness of academia. Really layered with genius at the bottom (I found myself taking notes of all my observations). An incredibly well done blend of dark fairytale horror in dark academia in the modern context with satire. Unlike anything I've read before. Read this just for the reading experience.
