Bunny By Mona Awad [English Novel]

Bunny by Mona Awad is a darkly comic and surreal novel that blends satire, horror, and psychological depth. The story follows Samantha Heather Mackey, a loner MFA student at a prestigious writing program who feels out of place among her peers—particularly a clique of cheerfully sinister girls who all call each other “Bunny.” When Samantha is reluctantly drawn into their ritualistic and increasingly disturbing world, she finds herself pulled between her desire for acceptance and her fear of losing herself. As strange and magical events escalate, the novel playfully skewers creative writing culture, female friendships, and identity, all while building creeping dread and absurdity. Poignant, unsettling, and wildly imaginative, Bunny is both a biting satire and an exploration of belonging, creativity, and self-destruction.
