Przeklęty królik

Cursed Bunny was the July read for the Sword and Laser podcast. This book is a collection of short stories originally written in Korean and then translated to English. The stories cover a variety of genres/themes, although most of them land somewhere in the horror/fantasy/sci-fi zone. They are all creepy and dark in some way.

I have to say this was not really for me. Intellectually I can appreciate the work and the message of many of the stories, and a couple of them did grab me. Many of the other stories, though, my response was something like: “Huh. That was weird.” This would be a great choice for a literature class (I know there are lots of interesting metaphors hanging out in there!) - but not something I would just pick up for fun. Your mileage may vary, though! If stories of talking feces and murderous lamps seem up your alley- this could be the book for you!
