About
Why a book picturing ways that chocolate bunnies can die? Number one, it’s just funny. Number two, after watching Paranormal Activity 1, 2, and 3 with a visiting friend, it started as a part of a prank. My friend left me a present of numerous small chocolate bunnies on a Ouija board in my living room. They were arranged to spell out a message from the beyond. Later, my friend began to pester me about how many I had eaten. As a level 4 chocoholic, he was aghast that for over two weeks I didn’t eat a single one. He asked me everyday, and I kept saying that I hadn’t touched them. Finally, I decided that I would have to start eating them, and that I would send him a picture of each one and how it died, before I ate it. Thus, the bunny project was born.
While creating the first few images, I realized that this was also a way to explore death and have a forbidden giggle about many of the ways that death can occur. The chocolate bunnies took some of the horror away from death. They even made it very funny at times. I started to show the pictures to people I knew, and they would laugh. Some outright enjoyed the laughs. Some were appalled at themselves for laughing. But the bunnies broke through and brought out varied reactions from my friends.
Maybe I just have sick and twisted friends. Or maybe, people need a safe way to explore what is inevitable. To those of you with the correct sense of humor for this book, enjoy. To everyone else, feel free to look away.
