The Watcher - a.k.a The Familiar (a spectral stalker) by J.Sheridan Le Fanu

Описание: In this haunting tale of `The Watcher`, we find ourselves in Dublin, where Captain Barton, a sea captain, becomes the target of an otherworldly stalker—the enigmatic “Watcher.” This peculiar figure bears an uncanny resemblance to someone from Barton’s past. As if that weren’t unsettling enough, accusatory voices begin to echo around him, and his fears take shape in the form of a sinister bird—a pet owl owned by his fiancée, Miss Montague.

The Watcher isn’t content with mere surveillance; it scrutinises Barton’s deeds and delves into his history.

Le Fanu’s storytelling prowess lies in creating an atmosphere thick with tension and mystery. If you’re up for spine-tingling chills, you can explore this eerie tale and other weird stories in Le Fanu’s collection “In a Glass Darkly” or “The Watcher and Other Weird Stories.”
It is worth noting that M.R. James regarded this tale, originally published as `The Familiar,` as a firm favourite.

Story read by Chris Halton.
