Summary
Set in a stylized version of early 1900s London, where every human bears the head of a rabbit, Appetite is a psychological horror short story I have created that follows the unsettling, homoerotic relationship between two men: Jack Carnaby, a feral snowshoe hare with a taste for flesh, and Edwin Lapin, a refined, domesticated European rabbit who prides himself on civility, composure, and control.
Their world is one where hunger—social, emotional, and literal—lurks beneath every word. Jack represents the wilderness of want, a predator hiding behind a smile. Edwin, ever the gentleman, tells himself he’s above such things. But week after week, he returns to Jack’s side. To listen. To learn. To feel something primal stir under the lace of his gloves.
As disappearances haunt the city and polite society turns a blind eye, Edwin is drawn deeper into Jack’s orbit. An orbit of love, but also of reflection. Because behind Jack’s teeth, Edwin sees something familiar: a mirror he’s too afraid to shatter.
Appetite is a grotesque and metaphorical descent into obsession, shame, and the violence we dress in velvet.
