"The Long Arm" by Franz Nabl is a psychological horror story published in the late 1930s. This tale dives into themes of obsession, guilt, and the supernatural, exploring the life of a man who returns to his hometown only to confront the dark history of his past. With its blend of horror and deep psychological insight, the narrative presents a chilling exploration of the boundaries between reality and the supernatural, as well as the consequences of one's inner demons. The story follows Modersohn, who reunites with an old acquaintance, Banaotovich, in a quaint Bavarian city. As their conversation unfolds in a gloomy café, Banaotovich reveals his disturbing ability to harm others through sheer will, recounting two deaths that occurred shortly after he wished for them. These admissions spiral into a confession of his struggles with his father's usurious business and the tension in his marriage. The narrative masterfully builds an atmosphere of dread, culminating in the chilling suggestion that Banaotovich might remain a threat to those around him, leaving Modersohn haunted after a disquieting encounter. The story reflects on themes of morality, madness, and the invisible ties that bind people to their past sins. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
