Bunny

Out of money and nearly out of options, Silas returns with his girlfriend Rose to the isolated childhood home he swore he would never see again. It is a house of bad memories, presided over by his Aunt Bunny, who made sure the boy grew up without a single happy one. Back among the woods and the wreckage of his family, Silas hopes only to weather a hard season and move on.

But the house has not forgotten him. As addiction and old hedonism creep back into his life, a string of unnerving events suggests that something far older and hungrier than memory has been waiting in this place. What begins as a story of family dysfunction and self-destruction slides steadily into supernatural dread, until Silas is drawn back into a dark inheritance that refuses to let him go.

Winner of the Aurealis Award for Best Horror Novel, S.E. Tolsen's Bunny is a bleak, atmospheric blend of psychological and supernatural horror. It uses the grip of the uncanny to explore how addiction warps a family and everyone caught in its orbit.
