We Love You, Bunny

The novel begins with Samantha Mackey tied to a chair in the attic of a house in an unnamed New England town. She is addressed by a group of four of her former classmates from Warren University. The four women address both Samantha and each other as “Bunny.” Samantha has come to town as part of a book tour for her new novel, and the other Bunnies attended her reading. Samantha’s novel describes events that occurred while she and the Bunnies were studying together in the MFA program at Warren. Since then, they have graduated and gone their separate ways, but they returned when they heard about Samantha’s reading. They drugged her and took her to the attic, where they have restrained her.

The Bunnies explain that they feel Sam misrepresented events in her novel, and they now want an opportunity to tell their story. In particular, they want to explain the events that took place in the first year of their MFA program (Sam’s narrative began at the start of their second year).
