By turns thought-provoking and stomach-turning, here monsters take the shapes of furry woodland creatures and danger lurks in unexpected corners of everyday apartment buildings. But in this unforgettable collection, translated by the acclaimed Anton Hur, Chung's absurd, haunting universe could be our own, illuminating the ills of contemporary society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The Head\" follows a woman haunted by her own bodily waste. \"The Embodiment\" takes us into a dystopian gynecology office where a pregnant woman is told that she must find a father for her baby or face horrific consequences. Another story follows a young monster, forced into underground fight rings without knowing the force of his own power. The titular fable centers on a cursed lamp in the approachable shape of a rabbit, fit for a child's bedroom but for its sinister capabilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e No two stories are alike, and readers will be torn whether to race through them or savor Chung's wit and frenetic energy on every page.\u003ci\u003e Cursed Bunny\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that screams to be read late into the night and passed on to the nearest set of hands the very next day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643753607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256","brand":"Bora Chung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439300612277,"sku":"9781643753607","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_eb8fbf86-f05d-4d7f-b901-b8784b10548d.jpg?v=1665461879","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cursed-bunny-stories-9781643753607","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
