«El Horla» is the short horror novel by French writer Guy de Maupassant, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (59 pages, in Spanish).
A man living in a house by the Seine suffers a series of strange events: objects that vanish, flowers torn by invisible hands, and water disappearing from a jug. Gradually he becomes convinced that something supernatural has settled in his surroundings; he calls this entity El Horla. Anguish and paranoia make him doubt his sanity.
This edition belongs to the Alianza Cien collection, number 31, and was published in Madrid in 1994. The Spanish translation is by Esther Benítez.
