A Masterpiece
This very short story was first published in 1902.
Acclaimed as a masterpiece of horror and suspense genre. Still published as a masterpiece and studied as a teaching text and guide for students of english classic literature.
You see no monsters or horrible sights, just the readers imagination of impeding horror. All in a short, i.e. 15 minute reading. Clearly, inspired Edgar Allen Poe and Stephen King.
Embodies Hindu mysticism and predestination. Read it late at night. Alone, in a quiet house. Then........be afraid.
