The Yellow Wallpaper

Creepy. This short story about a woman's slow descent into insanity is captivating. I couldn't tear myself away, had half expected her to commit suicide...

The wallpaper itself was more a metaphor for feeling caged...but the slow study of it throughout story gets so engrained in this woman's day to day and her descent is so slow you feel tourself slipping away with her.. Spine tingling doesn't cover it...it caresses your spine with constant chills..
