Le Horla by Guy de Maupassant is a classic supernatural short story.
It is written as a diary of an unnamed narrator who gradually feels that he is being haunted by an invisible, malevolent presence called “Le
Horla.” The narrator’s sense of reality deteriorates as he experiences strange events, nightmares, and an overwhelming feeling of
oppression. The story explores madness, the unknown, and the fear of invisible forces beyond human comprehension, blurring the line between
psychological disorder and supernatural horror.
