but still interesting. I really loved Cursed Bunny. I thought that Chung’s style really suited the bizarro-horror and comedy, and those stories were all right up my alley. So I was hoping for more of the same with Your Utopia.

This book is not horror as much as it is science fiction - which is a genre I’m sorry to say just doesn’t speak to me very often. So while these stories still contain the odd humor and interesting ideas, for me they lack the visceral splatter that Cursed Bunny contained.

That said, it’s still really decent. If you’re a sci-fi person, I’d suggest it to you. I just had to rank it lower than CB.

This was a tough read. Generational trauma (which seems to be a common theme in horror these days) and body horror, all placed on a terrible, terrible Irish island. Amazing, and will stick with me forever, but whew, I’m glad it’s over.

Just do yourself a favor and grab this one. Laugh out loud funny, amazingly touching, and just an all-out perfect read.

Poetic and often upsetting story with violence, revenge, monsters, and generational trauma. It’s amazingly well-written, and it’s my favorite of his novels up to this point. Read it.

No surprises in this whole collection (I was able to predict the ending or the “twist” on every story) and every page had a typo (a pet peeve of mine). A few good pages here and there, but an overall slog. I’d say skip it.
