Le Horla

Summary

The collection opens with Le Horla, the diary of a man in a quiet Norman house who becomes convinced that an invisible being lives beside him and feeds on his life. Thirteen more tales follow, of love, cruelty and country life, in Maupassant's plain and piercing style.

Written by Claude Opus 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
