Sinopse:
English edition. A man begins to record in his diary the presence of an invisible being that seems to surround his house, dominate his will, and consume his sanity. With each entry, the boundary between supernatural phenomenon and psychological collapse becomes less stable. Guy de Maupassant turns ordinary life into menace: water, sleep, mirrors, and silence all begin to carry an oppressive force. The horror grows from the sense of being watched by something that may not even have a shape. The Horla is a classic of psychological fear and supernatural fiction: brief, intense, and elegant in its descent into paranoia.
