The HORlA

by Guy De Maupassant

A quiet life. A beautiful home. And a presence that should not be there… In the calm of the French countryside, a man begins to sense something just out of sight—something watching, something waiting. At first, it's only small things: a missed glass of water, a restless night. But soon, the peace of his days begins to crumble as the unseen visitor draws nearer. Told through intimate journal entries, The Horla is a deeply atmospheric tale of isolation, uncertainty, and the strange fear that comes not with loud knocks—but with silence. A classic from one of France’s greatest storytellers, this short tale is perfect for a quiet evening, a warm blanket, and just a touch of goosebumps.
