Do you like stories of terror and horror? You are in for a treat this week as Cassandra Harold tells us the short story, “What Was It? A Mystery”.
Written by Fitz-James O’Brien and first published in Harper’s Magazine in 1859. It is in the Public Domain.
This story is among the earliest modern tales to include the concept of “invisibility,” predating H.G. Wells’s 1897 work, “The Invisible Man.”
Enjoy!
