As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus 'Workshop' where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort-a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other 'Bunny,' and seem to move and speak as one.īut everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled 'Smut Salon,' and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door-ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. it says a lot about how peoples actions shape how we see them.Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. lot of the perceptions i have on the same characters contradict each other. We also have multiple angles to judge the characters from it creates an interesting effect. the idea of being an author is so heavily romanticised so to see this character struggle between what is real and what is not is the result of their talent to write. *imagination can also be used as an unhealthy coping mechanism). Do writers create their own Frankensteins? Are they victims of their own imagination? What's more troubling/worse experiencing horrific things happening to you or imagining them? the burden of the writer is that they struggle from an overactive imagination ( that challenges their identity. it raises questions really interesting ones. Because we don't actually know what's real and what's not. It creates so many perceptions of the book and what it represents without doing much work to read into it. Honestly, for me I think not knowing is better than if we did know. Other Subreddits that might interest you: Horror Award Nominees & Winners, 1975-2013
