«Le Horla et autres contes fantastiques» is Guy de Maupassant's book of fantastic short stories, published by Flammarion in paperback (117 pages, in French).
Maupassant takes fear to the extreme: terrifying apparitions, invisible presences, inexplicable deaths and phenomena that defy reason.

An atmosphere of terror that leaves the reader without certainties.
It belongs to Flammarion's Étonnants Classiques collection and includes the complete text in French.
For students of French and readers of classic horror stories.
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a 19th-century French author, celebrated as a master of the short story and associated with the naturalist literary school of thought, depicting human lives, destinies, and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms.
