The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

I can remember having to read a few gothic short stories for English class (*ahem* Edgar Allan Poe) but for some reason we never read The Yellow Wallpaper. So a few years ago I took it upon myself to read it and it turns out I was blown away.

I could write much more about The Yellow Wallpaper here, but in an attempt to be succinct, I’d recommend it. It is short so you can finish it in one sitting.

(my runner up favorite short story is The Landlady by Roald Dahl)
