Presented here is a brief anthology of psychosis, paranoia, and despair. Three chilling accounts forming a shared vision of turn-of-the-century life gone horribly awry.
Guy de Maupassant's "Le Horla" follows the descent into madness of a man haunted by an invisible entity, while Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" traces the frantic, delusional words of a man convinced his peers intend to cannibalize him. Finally, "Amour Dure" by Vernon Lee explores the developing obsession a young man has for the portrait of a beautiful woman.
Together, these stories plumb the depths of the fragile human condition and leave you questioning what is real and what is imagined. They will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
