The Yellow Wallpaper

Rating: 5 / 5 starsShort review: unconventionally and irrevocably, a horror story.

Quiet an easy and fast read; just a few minutes and you're done with this story. But it's been a few hours, and I'm still really sad.

A terrifying tale in its own way, with no apparent monsters or ghosts, but rather ourselves. Ourselves, and our capability to do wrong to others, even with our best intentions, and our mind's capability to do us harm.

I'll leave with you with a couple of highlights, that really just broke my heart.

John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no reason to suffer, and that satisfies him.

I tried to have a real earnest, reasonable talk with him the other day, and tell him how I wished he would let me go and make a visit to cousin Henry and Julia. But he said I wasn't able to go, nor able to stand it after I got there; and I did not make out a very good case for myself, for I was crying before I had finished.
