Back then, she was always meant to be mine, even if having her meant breaking every single rule. Now, enemies or not, she would still be mine.

Lange schon wütete der Rote Tod im Lande, nie war eine Pest verheerender, nie eine Krankheit grässlicher gewesen. Blut war der Anfang, Blut das Ende – überall das Rot und der Schrecken des Blutes. Mit stechenden Schmerzen und Schwindelanfällen setzte es ein, dann quoll Blut aus allen Poren, und das war der Beginn der Auflösung. Die scharlachroten Tupfen am ganzen Körper der unglücklichen Opfer – und besonders im Gesicht – waren des Roten Todes Bannsiegel, das die Gezeichneten von der Hilfe und der Teilnahme der Mitmenschen ausschloss, und alles, vom ersten Anfall bis zum tödlichen Ende, war das Werk einer halben Stunde.

Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu was born on August 28th, 1814, at 45 Lower Dominick Street, Dublin, into a literary family with Huguenot, Irish and English roots. Between 1838 and 1840 Le Fanu had written and published twelve stories which purported to be the literary remains of an 18th-century Catholic priest called Father Purcell. Set mostly in Ireland they include classic stories of gothic horror, with grim, shadowed castles, as well as supernatural visitations from beyond the grave, together with madness and suicide.

This chilling tale of one man’s descent into madness was published shortly before the author was institutionalized for insanity, and so The Horla has inevitably been seen as informed by Guy de Maupassant’s mental illness. While such speculation is murky, it is clear that de Maupassant—hailed alongside Chekhov as father of the short story—was at the peak of his powers in this innovative precursor of first-person psychological fiction.
