I've never had a baby, but this read (to me) like the most chilling, realistic depiction of childbirth and post-partum psychosis. (I HAVE been in a psych ward and that was also incredibly true to life.) A changeling metaphor for motherhood and how genuinely crazy it can make you? Man. So terrifying and well done.
