The Yellow Wallpaper Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Another story my English teacher made me read. I liked it. It has always stayed with me all these years later. "

" According to the drunk hipster whose conversation I was unfortunate enough to overhear the other night, this is "a totally creepy ghost story" about "haunted wallpaper". "

" I LOVE THIS STORY... even years later I still remember all the creeping. This story really invokes in me the feeling of what it must have been like to be a woman in that time period. As well as how to deal with the possibility of mental illness or just not being understood. "

" I'll never think of creeping the same way again. "

" Anything this short and this good deserves 5 stars. An excellent short story! "

" Of this collection, I've only read the yellow wallpaper. It's kind of creepy, but it's one of my favorite short stories. I guess I'm just facinated by people going insane. "

" Love this story and Perkins' story telling skills! It's hard to imagine the terror and hardship women endured, but reading The Yellow Wallpaper gives us a glimpse of it. "

" You don't have to be a feminist to enjoy this short story. Gilman's writing is descriptive and lovely, and the protagonist completely pulls you into her mind. You can almost see what she sees; you almost don't find her mentally ill. "

" LOVE this story. So creepy and disturbing. "

" Ahhh! So freaky, awesome, GOOD! Love it! And read it in about 30 minutes. "

" This amazing collection of stories, all written by women in the 1800's, reveal the culture for women at that time. We've come a long way, baby! "

" The short stories were pretty cool but I pretty much zoned out through the whole feminist part. Mostly because it's in no way relevant to this era of feminism. "

" A truly chilling look into the effect isolation can have on a mentally troubled person. This story terrified me when I read it in high school, and I have to give it at least some credit for defining the niche of horror I tend to write in the most. "

" Never mind the Feminine Mystique. This should be Number ONE on top of every feminist's reading list! The Yellow Wallpaper is a brilliant Gothic account of a Victorian woman's descent into psychological madness. Many years later, the novella still remains vivid and visceral in my mind. "

" "The Yellow Wallpaper" is an extremely well-written short story that vividly depicts a young mother's descent from post-partum depression into full-blown psychosis. Powerful, disturbing, and a bit creepy. "
