Rabbit Heart by Alyssa Wong, Ramón de Ocampo

2.0

An extremely short story, almost a vignette that had me feeling...nothing. My feelings for this short story could be summed up in the vagueness of a raised eyebrow and a desultory turn of the page (it was an audiobook, so the metaphor doesn't quite work, but - I hope you get the picture). The protagonist grows replacement people out of rabbits and has done the same for his wife/partner. IT seems to riff on the themes of Frankenstein a little but it only imitates and doesnt edify the content of the classic while losing out on an opportunity to define the themes of love, loss and grief through the lens of this man's macabre work.
