Bunny

Ever feel like an outsider, desperate to break into an exclusive clique? Bunny plunges you into the suffocating world of an MFA program where Samantha, a cynical loner, is morbidly fascinated by a clique of rich girls who call each other "Bunny." This dark academic fairytale explores the terrifying lengths we go to for acceptance. You'll follow Samantha as she's finally invited into the Bunnies' inner circle, only to discover their creative process involves more than just writing—it's a saccharine, sinister ritual of blood, guts, and monstrous creation.

Mona Awad is the author of several critically acclaimed novels, including Bunny, and her work has won the Amazon Canada First Novel Award and been a finalist for the Giller Prize. Drawing from her own PhD in English and Creative Writing, she masterfully blends academic satire, dark fairy tales, and psychological horror. Awad's fiction explores the surreal and often unsettling aspects of female relationships, ambition, and the creative process, crafting worlds that are as enchanting as they are menacing, born from a deep understanding of literary traditions and human nature.
