Le Horla
English release: The Horla Literal: The What’s-Out-There
by Guy de Maupassant
A supernatural being—or possibly an alien, although probably not a time
traveler—haunts the narrator’s house, driving him to possessed and murderous state.
— Michael Main
On dirait que l’air invisible est plein d’inconnaissables Puissances dont nous
subissons le voisinage mystérieux.
One might almost say that the air, the invisible air, is full of unknowable Forces,
whose mysterious presence we have to endure.
