Cursed Bunny was an interestingly illogical story but something that I kept wanting to read more of.
To me, this book feels very much underrated and I don’t see a lot of people talking about it and that is a crime.
I didn't quite expect it to be nearly as tremendous as it is. This was a collection of short stories that explore the odd narrative and yet I still found it intriguing.
As far as I could sum it up, it feels like a forbidden bedtime story or things you'd share during a bonfire with your friends but it is way more exceptional than that.
There isn’t much I could explain this book any better than what I have said before because this is definitely a book that I recommend you read to actually have a clutch of the stories.
Out of all, the stories that affixed me till now are The Frozen Finger and Snare (which were also back-to-back). Without giving any of it away, The Frozen Finger had me reading it over and over trying to find a meaning for myself thinking “that could not be ending, there has to be more” because it was an experience that very much lead me to question the reality of the narrator (as the rest of the stories does but this was just another thing for me). While all these were racing in my head, Snare had me lodging in with no moments to spare. This was such a horrid and yet fascinating read, at times it had me disputing the precept of this story.
It only left me with more questions than it did answers but this is what I love about these kinds of stories; it left you some room for interpretation and create your own understanding for it.
