Blending suspense, mystery, and the supernatural, O'Brien creates a tale that still feels remarkably modern more than 160 years after its publication.A pioneering work of weird fiction, What Was It? would go on to influence later classics such as The Horla by Guy de Maupassant and The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells. It remains one of the great overlooked gems of nineteenth-century horror.This timeless classic is narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne.
