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
