About this audiobook
"The Horla" by Guy de Maupassant is a gripping tale of psychological horror that explores themes of madness, invisible influence, and the supernatural. Through the diary entries of the protagonist, readers are plunged into his descent into paranoia, as he becomes convinced that an invisible being, the Horla, is haunting and controlling him. Maupassant masterfully blurs the lines between reality and hallucination, leaving readers questioning the nature of the protagonist's torment.
Guy de Maupassant
Guy de Maupassant was a French writer and poet considered to be one of the pioneers of the modern short story whose best-known works include "Boule de Suif," "Mother Sauvage," and "The Necklace." De Maupassant was heavily influenced by his mother, a divorcée who raised her sons on her own, and whose own love of the written word inspired his passion for writing. While studying poetry in Rouen, de Maupassant made the acquaintance of Gustave Flaubert, who became a supporter and life-long influence for the author. De Maupassant died in 1893 after being committed to an asylum in Paris.
