This freaky little short story may be my Roman Empire. 

Read this if you like disturbing stories that leave you at the end with the thought: “honestly? Good for her”

I actually think it’s a pretty funny story the same way that a Junji Ito story is funny — It’s deeply upsetting but you also love how absurd it is and you’re like yessssss YESSSS! (I’m the “sickos” meme guy in this scenario)

[retrospective - read in: fall 2020]

yes, i indeed do have a favorite short story. and yes, this is the one. 

if you're down for a gothic feminist story from the 19th century, with slow-burn suspense and a mind-bending climax that gets terrifyingly psychological (which reflects on the inner battles that victims of mental illness go through)... then you're in a for treat here! 0_0
