This story reminds me a bit of the way that reality wavers during a migraine, but of course, my migraines are a lot less horrific than this story.  We follow a young mother, Phoebe, as she battles her mental illness in a narrative designed to keep the reader in the dark about how "real" the experiences are.  The author switches flawlessly between dreams and disjointed reality (people with pig faces) and mixes flashbacks with present-day happenings in a way that drives the story forward.  I don't normally go for horror, but this story makes me appreciate it in a whole new light.  A million bloodied stars to this short fantastical journey into mental illness.
