Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung
3.5
generally quite interesting. of course, as with all short story collections, some are more intriguing than others, but this collection had a pretty level group of stories, I think.
I especially enjoyed the titular Cursed Bunny, and the boy-sacrifice fairytale one. Speaking of, it seems like perhaps this collection would have benefited from a more focused choice of genre. it works to flex the authors writing ability, but actually it was very jarring to go from horror-adjacent sci-fi to romantic fairy tale. I did enjoy both, but...
the story I enjoyed the least was probably the one about the house. Just simply not built for a short story, it felt like it deserved its own longer length.
Well translated.
