Excerpt

I feel that the short story, "The Horla," by Guy de Maupassant, would make an exciting addition to next year's horror fiction and film seminar. I chose this particular story partly because I was familiar with the author. De Maupassant is highly acclaimed as a masterful storyteller. He has written six novels, more than three hundred short stories and sketches, three books of travel, and a volume of poetry. "The Horla" is one of the most popular and widely recognized of De Maupassant's short stories.
