wow!!! i just finished this in one sitting and it’s instantly one of the best stories i’ve EVER read! it is so well written, the pacing is perfect, and you feel as though you are there. it became quite creepy and also sad, there is definitely a lot of meanings behind this book to think about as the author is a well-known feminist writer. this novella really evoked a lot of emotions for me, so it’s a definite 5 stars!!!

Like come on, this books is so good. One of my favorites if not my favorite short story. This is the most scary non traditional horror book I've read. The sheer ability to convey such imagery and emotions in under one hundred pages is actually insane (pun intended). And the fact that this book was inspired by something similar happening to the author just makes it more real. Unbelievably astounding and eerie.

Short but compelling story about women's mental health and controlling husbands. Great read.
