Le Horla

Based on Guy de Maupassant's classic tale, this 2014 graphic novel from Rue de Sèvres is a singular, atmospheric adaptation by Guillaume Sorel, who both writes and illustrates. Sorel's haunting artwork brings the story's creeping dread to life, visualizing the unseen presence that torments the narrator. This single-issue release stands as a focused, visually rich interpretation of a masterwork of psychological horror. It matters as a modern European comics take on a foundational short story, demonstrating how the medium can amplify Maupassant's suspense.
