They typically would not be something I'd pick up, except that this book is getting some good buzz (shortlisted for the International Booker, apparently) and I am trying to read more international authors. BUT--I am enjoying it anyway, despite myself, though the bizarreness of the Korean horror genre is still something I am not sure I can fully embrace. Very readable, very dark, and yes there will be blood--and menses--not to mention some poop. (  ) reader1009 | Feb 8, 2023 |
 You may have been able to guess by the eerie-looking bunny presented in inverted colors on the cover that this tale is anything but light and happy. Bora Chung’s fascinating and unique short story collection, Cursed Bunny, displays the most disturbing truths about the nature of mankind through a fantastical yet realistic narrative. By including ten short stories, Chung is easily able to capture the reader’s full attention by making her audience feel disgusted and uncomfortable, yet highly intrigued and captivated. This slender beast of a book contains many themes that leave a lasting impression on the reader that may cause them to need a deep breath – and maybe even a drink – between stories. One reoccurring theme that comes across in many of Chung’s short stories is that of humanity’s innate inclination toward selfishness despite the repercussions it may have on other people. How can a species be so empathetic and psychopathic all at once? Could it be, that the step toward curing the human condition requires that we accept this cosmic curse?

Excellent! Slow burn supernatural, ghosts, drama, and horror. Cursed Bunny is a collection of short stories that range from exceptionally weird (The Head) to haunting (Reunion).
The title story, Cursed Bunny, is a rift on the idea that family always comes back to haunt you in one way or another. You can change your circumstance, but you can't change your family. Ruler of The Winds and Sands is a gorgeous fairy tale with the same hideous underpinning. I loved the heroine of the story.
There were a few times that the translated text felt awkward in context, but overall it was perfectly fine reading in English. (
