A Ghost

Guy de Maupassant

Title: A Ghost 
Author: Guy de Maupassant 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1887 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 51 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
In A Ghost, Guy de Maupassant delivers a story of quiet horror and spectral melancholy, blending realism with the uncanny precision that made him one of the masters of psychological terror. The tale begins with a gentleman recounting a seemingly ordinary visit to a friend’s old Norman chateau — only to find himself drawn into a midnight encounter that defies reason and chills the soul. 
Maupassant’s prose, spare yet deeply atmospheric, evokes a world where memory, longing, and the supernatural converge. The ghost that manifests is not merely an apparition, but a haunting embodiment of loss, loneliness, and the fragile boundary between the living and the dead. 
Narrated by bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this new performance captures the hypnotic tension and eerie elegance of Maupassant’s vision. Every word lingers like a whisper in an empty room, every pause weighted with dread. 
While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre and uncanny, A Ghost stands as a haunting reflection on mortality and the unseen forces that linger just beyond perception — a tale that proves the simplest stories can cast the deepest shadows.
