The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
5.0
A very compelling read, thankfully short. The writing is so unnatural that the author's mental unbalance is very visible. Wikipedia says that she wrote this story after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis.
Postpartum psychosis is a rare psychiatric emergency in which symptoms of high mood and racing thoughts (mania), depression, severe confusion, loss of inhibition, paranoia, hallucinations and delusions set in, beginning suddenly in the first two weeks after childbirth.
