She has an MA in Russian and East European area studies from Yale University and a PhD in Slavic literature from Indiana University. ―Caleb Masters from Bookmarks in Winston-Salem, NC | Buy from Bookmarksīora Chung has written three novels and three collections of short stories. With themes of gender, greed, and technology, Cursed Bunny is a must read for those who take their humor black and their ideas big.

From a head growing out of a toilet wanting to be free, a snared fox that bleeds gold, or the titular cursed bunny each of Chung’s amazing stories reads like a dark fable that would give the Grimm brothers a run for their money. Delightfully gruesome, disarmingly weird, and incredibly sharp Bora Chung’s debut collection Cursed Bunny is an incredibly memorable trip into the mind of an amazing new voice.―Grace Sullivan from Fountain Books in Richmond, VA | Buy from Fountain Bookstore An unforgettable book that’ll keep you thinking for days. Tales that range from heads emerging from toilets, body horror that you’ll remember for days, and even some more sci-fi elements as well, this story collection is not for the faint of heart. Bora Chung is bringing a new depth of not only gore and terror to traditional horror but also something more provocative as well. A fantastic, Korean story collection that includes nightmarish tales you won’t be able to put down.―Stuart McCommon from Novel in Memphis, TN | Buy from Novel.

This book is perfect for horror fans that also enjoy literary fiction. Along with covering individual issues like greed, despair, or love… the stories also tackle societal issues regarding feminism and poverty as well. Bora Chung takes the bases of human nature (and a lot of the worst ones) and puts them on display like an open wound for the reader.

Cursed Bunny is a fantastically weird and thought-provoking collection of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy stories that had me ruminating long after I had finished them.

What booksellers are saying about Cursed Bunny: Stories “ I think urban legends, myths and folktales constantly tell us that what you know is not all, and you shouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that what your five senses can sense is all there is to feel and perceive and think.” ―Bora Chung, Interview, The Korea Herald
