Story collections are tricky, because the order is perhaps the most crucial part. The first two stories of Cursed Bunny are so whacky, so camp that they set the tone with such an expectation; unfortunately, they’re the only two that have this funny and kitschy quality. The rest in comparison pale very quickly, and wither into the banality of the ordinary. Everything truly special about this book is revealed and done away with almost instantly, which to me is utterly inexplicable.

The collection is also all over the place as well, jumping between stories set in our reality and what are made to sound like folktales, as well as dull and uninspired conceptions of a futuristic setting. There are much better told stories for free on the internet, and that pains me.

It took me TEN WHOLE DAYS to push myself through this bland oatmeal of a book.
