G’day you legends!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Tonight we close the chapter on Guy de Maupassant’s The Horla—a story that began with unease, spiralled into possession, and ended in fire and despair. Our poor narrator, crushed beneath the weight of an invisible parasite, finds his final act of rebellion is not survival, but destruction. And yet, the question lingers: did he truly defeat the creature, or did madness itself light the match?

What makes this ending so haunting is its tragic inevitability. Maupassant, battling his own demons and hallucinations at the time, poured his unravelling mind into these pages. The Horla is both a tale of horror and a personal cry from the abyss—an author writing about possession while being devoured by his own illness. That makes the story not just scary, but heart-breaking.

But as one tale closes, another door creaks open. We move now into the twisted imagination of Clark Ashton Smith—a master of the macabre, a contemporary of Lovecraft, and a poet who wielded horror like a blade. Our next descent takes us to The Nameless Offspring—a story of family curses, ancient crypts, and something unspeakable lurking in the dark vaults of inheritance.

So steel yourself, dear listeners. We have left the invisible predator of The Horla… only to descend into the tomb where bloodlines curdle, and things best left buried are clawing to rise.

Information about the Traditional Horla:

The Creature Description:

The Horla is an unseen presence—never fully visible, yet undeniably real. It lingers in rooms, shifting curtains, pressing against its victim in the night, draining vitality sip by sip. Unlike folkloric vampires, it consumes life force rather than blood, leaving its host hollowed, sleepless, and hopeless. It is described as foreign, alien, and superior—suggesting an otherworldly predator feeding on humankind like cattle.
