We Love You, Bunny
$34.99
We Love You, Bunny Frankenstein meets Heathers in this dazzling, hilarious, and deliciously dark follow-up to the viral sensation Bunny, from Margaret Atwood’s ‘literary heir’, Mona Awad Fall down the rabbit hole into the intoxicating world of Mona Awad’s second darkly comic tour de force set in the Bunny-verse. From the queen of the fever-dream herself comes the pulse-pounding sequel, prequel, and stand-alone companion to her cult classic novel Bunny.Samantha Heather Mackey was originally ostracised by the clique of creepy-sweet rich girls in her highly selective MFA program who call each other ‘Bunny’. Then she found herself thrown into the violently surreal world of their off-campus ‘Workshop’, where monstrous creations were conjured with deadly and wondrous consequences.When We Love You, Bunny opens, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England stop on her book tour, her one-time frenemies, furious at the way they’ve been portrayed, kidnap her. With Sam bound and gagged, we plunge headfirst into the wickedly intoxicating fairy tale they offer up as their side of the story. The Bunnies take turns recounting the birth of their unholy alliance, their discovery of their unusual creative powers – and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. Dazzlingly original and wildly hilarious, We Love You, Bunny promises another captivating descent into dark academia and a profound exploration of just how deeply our fictions reveal the truth of our hearts.PRAISE FOR WE LOVE YOU, BUNNY'We Love You, Bunny returns to the uncanny terrain that made Awad cult-famous [and] burrows further into the fragmented, hallucinatory terrain she began to chart in Bunny. Her commitment to the surreal is gripping, as is her evolving command of structure – the way her stories fold in on themselves, mimicking the mental contortions of her narrator. With its feverish premise, metafiction turns, and a built-in cult following hungry for more, We Love You, Bunny is poised to be the buzziest release of the season.' Women.com "Most Anticipated Book Releases of Fall 20252"'[Awad’s] command of acerbic wit and satiric plotlines, talent for characterization, and sharp metacriticism of creative writing programs make her story sing in the way only bleeding tongues, broken hearts, and battle axes can… It’s Bookstagram-worthy dark academia that’s alarming, allegorical, and nuanced and unravels Bunny catastrophically and captivatingly. Fans of Atwood, R.F. Kuang, and Marisha Pessl will savor this book, whose heady, unsettling intellectualism builds on Awad’s reputation as one of today’s boldest feminist satirists.' Library Journal (starred)‘Mona Awad has returned and her latest will get under your skin just the way her fans have come to expect.’ PEOPLE‘Awad adds another brilliant roast of academia to the shelves, once again unmatched in playful language… with dialogue-heavy, laugh-out-loud funny, cinematic prose… Readers will laugh to tears and be fully immersed in this ethereal trip back to Warren.’ Booklist (starred)‘The Bunnies get to tell their side of the story: it’s an Alice in Wonderland, dark academia, slasher romp that is so much fun.’ Lit Hub, "Lit Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2025, Part Two"‘Awad’s prose remains as biting as ever, skillfully oscillating between the lyrical and the absurd. Readers need not be familiar with Bunny to appreciate this outing, though fans will relish the deepened mythology and twisted callbacks. This bold satire breaks exciting new ground in the Bunny universe.’ Publishers Weekly

Wild Dark Shore
$34.99
From the New York Times bestselling author of Migrations and Once There Were Wolves, a novel about a family living alone on a remote island, when a mysterious woman washes up on shore. 'At once a gripping mystery, an exquisitely written ode to the natural world, and a taut, psychological thriller, Wild Dark Shore is a triumph. Charlotte McConaghy is masterful in her ability to show the intricate connections between place and the human heart, and Wild Dark Shore shows her at the height of her powers. Breathtaking.' HANNAH KENT Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world's largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground. Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can't stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place. Â Â Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn't telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, the characters must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it's too late-and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together. Â Â A novel of heartstopping twists, dizzying beauty and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is a story about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us is ending.
