I think one thing straight women should do before dating a man is have him read this short story and tell her his thoughts about it

December 4th 2025

So unsettling... in the best way. The descent into madness was so well done, and the creeping tension made it impossible to look away. The writing took me a bit to get into, but the way it captured isolation and control was genuinely chilling.

Re-read 08/11/24: I only read this four months ago but the vibes are right for the season and it's just. so. good._________________________________________I had a feeling I'd like this, but if I'm honest I didn't expect to love it. Well, what do I know?Nothing I can say here that hasn't been said already. This is a tour de force of feminist horror which sinks into your soul, despite its small size. The embodiment of "though she be but little, she is fierce."
