Zombunny by Craig Crawford
Zombunny is a quick-read horror story by Craig Crawford. Published by Graveside Press, it was released on February 14, 2025 and weighs in at 32 pages.
This is quite an enjoyable story that you can read in one sitting. It flowed easily, the plot is well-rounded, and it’s filled with enjoyable characters. Penny was great, and I especially loved her new friend Zombunny. Much like Penny, I was a huge fan of stuffed animals as a kid. And, as an adult, I also tend to find weird and creepy things somewhat cute! Thankfully, I never had any issues like this with any of my favorite plushies.
In this thrilling story, Crawford explores what it would be like if your toys actually came to life, and how parents might react. Also, he did a great job creating young Penny’s character, easily bringing her sass and personality to the page—not to mention Zombunny’s! Even though this is a shorter read, it doesn’t skimp on action, suspense, and horror.
When I finished reading, I did a little research of my own (thanks to a name mentioned in the story) to gain some insight into what might have inspired Crawford’s bunny and its motives. I love finding Easter eggs like that! No pun intended, you know, with a rabbit and all.
If you’re in the mood for a horror story you can easily read in one sitting that delivers on creepy vibes and hits hard on some serious events in a short amount of time, grab Zombunny!
Just be careful not to upset him.
