“That spoils my ghostliness, I am afraid, but I don't care—there is something strange about the house—I can feel it.”
the descent into madness of a woman who suffers from post-partum depression and is confined to a yellow-wallpaper room by her husband. this short story was nightmarish and absolutely insane! it is horrifying how mentally ill women were (and continue to be) treated by doctors and men.

Short eerie read. Made me think about burn out and how endless it feels. I've read it months ago and still keep thinking about it every once in a while, can't remember how many people I've recommended it to.
Used this short story to test out a mini book club with a friend and it was perfect. Short enough to not be overwhelming but interesting enough to talk about it more deeply. We discussed the book and watched some videos about it on YouTube, recommend!

this is one of my favorite books i've read all year. it was just spooky enough to make me doubt the writer, and just unsettling enough to make me doubt doubting myself. i want to reread it with the different perspectives my partner mentioned, just to see what's different each time around.
