Status Updates From H. P. Lovecraft's Book of T...

Lol. I love The Yellow Wallpaper. It's horrifying, but also hilarious. "Now why should that man have fainted? But he did, and right across my path by
the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!"

Creep, creep, creep!

The fact that Lovecraft thinks Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper is a ghost story -- or that it's scary because of some kind of supernatural transference of madness -- says a lot about him and his take on what's horrifying. To be clear: The Yellow Wallpaper is story about how men treat women. Nothing's supernatural, and her madness has very mundane origins...which is all the more terrifying.
