This was one my friend had recommended to me. She mentioned that it had resurfaced on BookTok lately so I went to give it a go 😳

Creepy, haunting and well narrated. The woman definitely goes through an emotionally taxing time 🥲

One of my all-time favorite classic reads. An in depth glance into the human psyche with underlying highlights on female oppression.

5.0

The Yellow Wallpaper is a quintessential and spine-tinglingly creepy work of feminist Gothic horror. Through Charlotte Perkins Gilman's strikingly beautiful and haunting writing, she explores the psychological impacts of confinement as well as the psychological impacts caused by the dismissal and control of women at the hands of careless men. It may be short, but the crafting of the central character, and her gradual descent into psychosis is astonishingly well-written.
