Horla
A gentleman's journal, kept through the summer of 1887, records his slow slide into terror. At first he suspects a mental illness. But something moves through his house at night. It drinks his water. It touches him. It is invisible, unknowable, and growing stronger. Maupassant builds dread with devastating restraint, letting the reader share in every escalating certainty that one's own mind might be the enemy. The horror is not the monster, but the possibility that it is real.
