"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gillman
A husband and wife go to a house near the sea to improve the wife's mental condition, but she finds something strange about the wallpaper.
This is probably the most recommended short story ever, but am I going to recommend it again, not least because it features the greatest use of the word creep in the English language. Knocks me out every time!

“Never before has an author managed such a thorough haunting with such meager tools as 1) an inanimate object 2) a benign color 3) 129 pages?? 4) the manifestations of structural misogyny in the interpersonal. 4.5/5”

“A short story about a woman struggling with postpartum depression. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Cynthia Erivo - highly recommend!”
