    Title: The Horla 
    Author: Guy de Maupassant 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1887 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 64 
    Description: 
    The Horla is one of Guy de Maupassant’s most unsettling tales — a study of madness, obsession, and the invisible forces that may govern our lives. Told in the form of a diary, the story follows an unnamed narrator whose calm, orderly life gradually unravels as he becomes convinced that an unseen, supernatural being is haunting him — controlling his thoughts, his desires, and even his will to live. 
    Maupassant blends psychological horror with the uncanny, crafting a story where fear grows not from gore, but from the creeping realization that the human mind may be powerless against what it cannot perceive. The ordinary becomes sinister: windows seem to watch, the air feels heavy with presence, and the night is filled with a silent, inescapable dread. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the mounting terror and disorientation of Maupassant’s masterpiece. While the text itself is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classics of horror, The Horla is a chilling reminder that some fears are real — and some presences are beyond comprehension. 🕯️
