The Horla is by Guy De Maupassant. This magnificent little novella chronicles one man's descent into madness, or does it? The narrator claims he is being stalked by an invisible creature he calls "the Horla." De Maupassant wrote three versions of this realistic/historical fiction tale, all are contained the in edition published by "The Art of the Novella" series. All three are well worth the read and make a wonderful study in an author's process of revising his work.
Ratings: 10th grade - 8 out of 10.
