Our scent adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s 1892 short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” was first conceived as a Halloween 2020 release, inspired by the confinement we were experiencing during that maddeningly uncertain time. Good taste prevailed, however, and we decided to shelve this series for another time.

That time has now come! This beguiling and ruthlessly economical snippet of horror fiction has been a formative reading experience for high school students for decades, even though the subject matter is decidedly adult.

For new readers staring down non-fictional legislative attempts to revive 19th century standards for pregnancy, motherhood, and mental healthcare, our heroine’s predicament seems all too current… and her escape (as it were) oddly cathartic.
