"Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s story is super creepy, and alludes to “The Yellow Wallpaper” briefly. I’m not surprised at all that it’s based on a historical woman from the Victorian period and her own experience with postpartum psychosis based on my previous experience reading her adult novels. I hope I can read the other books in this series of short story collections because of Hargrave’s inclusion." — Mar 11, 2025 08:12AM

“Just wanted to let you know I got in all right. And also that my chest hurts as if I MAY BE DYING, because I accidentally left my heart on your kitchen counter. I hate when that happens.”
