Guillaume Sorel takes a deep dive into the fantastical world of one of Guy de Maupassant's most famous short stories.

The narrator's peaceful life by the Seine is interrupted by strange, eerie phenomena. Someone has sipped from the carafe of water on his nightstand, a flower is plucked by an unseen hand... Little by little, the narrator becomes increasingly convinced an intangible, supernatural presence is living in his house, eating his food. Worse yet, this creature, whom he dubs the Horla, exerts a growing influence on him, soon to be total control. One of them must die. A nerve-wracking classic that tackles contemporary themes of anxiety, mental illness, suicide, and fear of what cannot be seen.
