The highly anticipated follow up to the viral sensation Bunny, a brilliantly written, laugh-out-loud funny, dark, and delirious novel set in the Bunny-verse—a world that Margaret Atwood declared “soooo genius.”
In the cult classic novel Bunny, Samantha Heather Mackey, a lonely outsider student at a highly selective MFA program in New England, was first ostracized and then seduced by a clique of creepy-sweet rich girls who call themselves “Bunny.” An invitation to the Bunnies’ Smut Salon leads Samantha down a dark rabbit hole (pun intended) into the violently surreal world of their off-campus workshops where monstrous creations are 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. Now a captive audience, it’s her (and our) turn to hear the Bunnies’ side of the story. One by one, they take turns holding the axe, and recount the birth throes of their unholy alliance, their discovery of their unusual creative powers—and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. With a bound and gagged Sam, we embark on a wickedly intoxicating journey into the heart of dark academia: a fairy tale slasher that explores the wonder and horror of creation itself. Not to mention the transformative powers of love and friendship, Bunny.
Frankenstein by way of Heathers, We Love You, Bunny is both a prequel and a sequel, and an unabashedly wild and totally complete stand-alone novel. Open your hearts, Bunny, to another dazzlingly original and darkly hilarious romp in the Bunny-verse from the queen of the fever-dream, Mona Awad.

Combining dark comedy, psychological horror, and satire, contemporary fiction often explores body image, obsession, female relationships, and artistic ambition. Mona Awad gained widespread recognition with her satire Bunny, which follows an isolated creative writing student drawn into a sinister, cult-like clique of wealthy classmates. Her surreal narratives examine the dark side of intimacy, beauty standards, and creative production with sharp humor and chilling atmosphere.
Awad has established a distinct voice in Canadian and American literature through novels that blur the boundary between reality and psychological delusion. Recognized by literary icon Margaret Atwood as her heir, she weaves dark fairy-tale motifs and satire into character-driven stories that interrogate contemporary social pressures.
Born on August 22, 1978, in Montreal, Quebec, Awad was raised by an Egyptian father who immigrated to Canada in the 1970s and a French-Canadian mother. She moved to Mississauga, Ontario, at age thirteen, attending Father Michael Goetz Secondary School. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from York University in 2004, followed by a Master of Arts at the University of Edinburgh, a Master of Fine Arts at Brown University, and a PhD from the University of Denver.
Awad launched her novelistic career with 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, which was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and received the Amazon.ca First Novel Award. She subsequently joined the creative writing faculty at Syracuse University as an assistant professor in 2020, where she teaches fiction while publishing award-winning novels and short fiction in venues such as The New Yorker, McSweeney's, and The Walrus.
Awad's writing blends gothic horror, absurd satire, and psychological realism. Her works frequently center on female interiority, loneliness, physical transformation, and the toxic dimensions of female camaraderie. By placing her characters in heightened, uncanny situations—such as sinister skin-care clinics, surreal academic cliques, or pain-management struggles connected to Shakespearean theater—Awad exposes the societal expectations placed on women's bodies and aesthetic appearances.
