In The Mysterious Sketch, Erckmann-Chatrian delivers a chilling tale of obsession, art, and the uncanny. When a young artist becomes inexplicably compelled to sketch the face of a man he has never met, he unwittingly unlocks a sinister thread of fate. As the sketch takes on a life of its own, the line between reality and imagination begins to blur, drawing the artist deeper into a psychological and supernatural mystery. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of 19th-century France, this haunting short story explores the power of the subconscious and the disturbing secrets that may lie within a single unfinished drawing.

This eerie classic of gothic suspense is brought to life by narrator Richard Stibbard in a performance filled with tension, intrigue, and a creeping sense of dread.
