The Weird Circle
The Horla
von
The Weird Circle presents radio adaptations of classic tales of mystery, horror, and the supernatural. Its stories draw on literary works and place listeners amid uncanny events, unsettling encounters, and the possibility that ordinary life conceals something inexplicable.
Each broadcast is a self-contained dramatic presentation, using actors, dialogue, narration, and sound effects to bring its story to life. The series offers a varied selection of eerie fiction, with an emphasis on suspense and atmosphere rather than a continuing cast or storyline.
The result is a compact, theatrical listening experience shaped by the traditions of classic ghost stories and Gothic literature. This episode adapts Guy de Maupassant’s “The Horla,” a tale of a narrator’s growing fear that an unseen presence is taking control of his life.
