Cursed Bunny

About

A woman inherits a cursed lamp that births a grotesque creature in her bathroom. A family's high-rise apartment begins devouring them from the inside. A man discovers that his company's newest product is made from something unspeakable. In Bora Chung's genre-defying collection, the fantastic and the mundane collide with the force of a nightmare you can't quite wake from. Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, these stories use horror, magical realism, and science fiction not as escape but as diagnosis. Chung's targets are the real monsters — patriarchy, capitalism, and the casual cruelties that modern life normalizes. Anton Hur's translation captures prose that shifts from terrifying to darkly funny without warning. A collection that makes you laugh, then makes you deeply uncomfortable about having laughed — exactly as intended.
