A wretched individual in perpetual isolation longs to see the world outside the walls of his home. Finally daring to leave, he encounters others for the first time – and is baffled by their response to him. Finally he discovers an object that reveals the true horror behind his confinement.

The Outsider is taken from the Victorian Anthologies series featuring short stories by classic writers of the spooky, the scary and the supernatural.
