But the more predictable moments set you up to miss a crucial step and fall right into the abyss when Chung gets weird. The balance changes from story to story, and sometimes the genre conventions feel too pat, as genre conventions will. Drawing from Korean folk tale and Chung’s expertise as a Slavic literature professor, the narratives here shamble and ooze across a porous divide between highbrow absurdism and lowbrow jump scare. South Korean novelist Bora Chung’s first translated work, the short story collection “ Cursed Bunny,” is an example of the new amalgamated norm. Over the last couple of decades, literary fiction has increasingly unhinged its jaws to gulp down genre fiction, creating new, lumpy hybrids - Stephen Graham Jones’ bloodily stitched together literary slashers Susanna Clarke’s magic potion of epic fantasy and realism Kate Atkinson’s sliding doors of historical fiction and time travel.

And yet, here we have new supernatural groups one after the other, completely forgetting the charaters and plot points previously made. By the fifth book, the world should be at least established and we should move on and develop what is already there. And we don't continue on any of the path that were paved in the previous books. I feel like the author had a lot of ideas and tropes that she likes, but she went and stuffed them all in there without any of them being developed or meaning anything. There was an amazing sale on tropes, so I took a dozen ! Rez was original, in his way of thinking, in his actions, he was different form what we were used to seeing these last few years.Ģ.

What do you mean, buddy?” Carter asks, laughing nervously. You know how when you’ve told a lie and someone catches you in it your face gets all hot and you get butterflies in your stomach? It’s ten times worse when it’s your own freaking toddler calling you out and looking at you like, “Are you kidding me with this shit?” “I know what you guys are doin’ when you make a phone call,” Gavin pipes up nonchalantly from the backseat.
