How Love Came to Professor Guildea — Robert Hichens | Something Began to Love Him
You may refuse love. You may even build your life against it. But what happens when something begins to love you without understanding what love is? Professor Frederic Guildea trusts reason and the evidence of his senses. When an unseen presence enters his London home, it does not threaten him in any ordinary way. It attaches itself to him. I chose this story because Robert Hichens makes affection feel invasive. The horror lies in being wanted by something unable to understand refusal. Guildea cannot reason with it. He cannot make it leave. Read the companion article on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/finding...
