The Evil Eye: The Gothic Horror Classic

By Théophile Gautier

"It is based on the doctrine of Nemesis, on the belief in the actual working of Envy, as a force directed from the eyes, and on the indomitable logical fallacy of post hoc, ergo propter hoc." -The Quarterly Review, Volume 182, 1895 A STRANGE STORY BROTHER, you ask me if I have ever loved. Yes. My story is a strange and terrible one; and though I am sixty-six years of age, I scarcely dare even now to disturb the ashes of that memory. To you I can refuse nothing; but I should not relate such a tale to any less experienced mind. So strange were the circumstances of my story, that I can scarcely believe myself to have ever actually been a party to them. For more than three years I remained the victim of a most singular and diabolical illusion. Poor country priest though I was, I led every night in a dream.
