A woman. A room. A creeping madness.
Confined to an old colonial mansion for the summer, a woman diagnosed with “temporary nervous depression” is forbidden from doing any work—writing, thinking, feeling. Trapped in a former nursery with barred windows and a hideous yellow wallpaper, she spends her days spiraling deeper into obsession. The pattern shifts, the walls seem to breathe, and at night, something stirs within the design.
Is it just her imagination? Or is she truly seeing what lurks beneath?
A groundbreaking feminist masterpiece and a chilling psychological horror, The Yellow Wallpaper (4.1 stars on Amazon) is a scathing critique of patriarchal oppression and medical gaslighting. Perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson and The Bell Jar, this haunting classic lingers long after the final page.
