Cursed bunny is deeply unsettling, evoking nausea - not a literal kind but more of the kind of nausea that makes your skin crawl as fears within you and fears you didn’t know you had are expressed and surfaced. Chung’s short stories are well ordered, with stories spanning futurism and mysticism contrasted against each other. Her writing manages to be funny amidst this all, and the language is simple and biting.

The stories here seem more like fairy tales, or dark fables for a modern age. They feel timeless and relatable.
