Do you know the superstition about saying “Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” first thing on the first of the month? No? Now you do. There’s really not much more to it, other than the fact that it’s supposed to bring you good luck. It’s an early 20^th century peculiarity that’s largely fallen out of fashion, but in case you’re in need of a little luck, here are three sets of three books that will definitely make you feel fortunate.

1. Red Rabbit (Alex Grecian) – I love a good Weird Western, and this is no exception. A growing posse hunts down a witch through wilder and wilder dangers, pursuing more than a bounty.
2. Red Rabbit Ghost (Jen Julian) – “Returning to your small town” is a classic horror trope, but Julian makes it new again, especially with the murder mystery being a very cold case. Protagonist Jesse wants to solve his own mom’s murder, but more is at stake than he realizes.
3. Rabbit Back Literature Society (Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen; trans. Lola M. Rogers) – This is a work of Finnish surrealism, or maybe magical realism—I really don’t know quite how to describe it, other than to say it’s good. Fans of Murakami Haruki will definitely love the vibe.

1. Year of the Hare (Arto Paasilinna) – Another Finnish novel, not exactly fantasy, but I would certainly argue that it’s within the speculative realm. A man accidentally injures a hare with his car, and then abandons his whole life in order to run off into the woods with it. Sounds pretty good, honestly.
2. Bunny (Mona Awad) – For anyone who’s found the bright, shiny people very unsettling, this book is for you. A dark fiction writer is eerily drawn into the It Girl crowd, but this clique isn’t all it seems.
3. Rabbits (Terry Miles) – A mysterious game with a player board the size of the world—and maybe bigger—is enough of a draw for many, but there’s also the promise of untold (literally) rewards waiting for the winner. K is desperate to play, but there’s more at stake than he dared to dream.

1. Watership Down (Richard Adams) – An obvious choice, of course, but a classic for a reason. If you haven’t read it, or haven’t read it as an adult, try it or try it again. There’s definitely more to discover.
2. Cursed Bunny (Bora Chung; trans. Anton Hur) – This collection of stories don’t all feature rabbits, but you’ll still be glad to dive into the wonderfully weird worlds created by the inimitable Chung.
3. Usagi Yojimbo (Stan Sakai) – This series is just a delight to read. Amazingly drawn and written, the rabbit-ified tale of Miyamoto Musashi and the chaos of the Edo period deserves all its praise.
