Bunny
Samantha attends a creative writing program at a distinguished college in a bad neighborhood haunted by an urban legend--an ax murderer. Her best friend reminds her of a female David Bowie and is awesomely cynical.
Then there are the Bunnies, a blonde clique of girls Samantha nicknames Duchess, Cupcake, and Creepy Doll. They're self-involved and whimsical in a bad way, but their writing scenes are hilarious. Samantha soon learns they are sort of a coven who turn rabbits into young men--whom they gruesomely dispatch with an ax if the transformation goes awry.
Samantha meets a mysterious young man whom she assumes to be the rabbit she attempted to turn and the story becomes a lovely dark fairy tale.
The first part of this novel is horror with a dash of humor, but the second part is a heartbreaking tale of college life and seeking to belong. A glorious dark academia and one of my favorite reads.
