The Mystery of Choice by Robert W. Chambers
"The Mystery of Choice" by Robert W. Chambers is a collection of short stories published in 1897. Set primarily in the atmospheric landscapes of Brittany, France, these interconnected tales blend natural beauty with macabre and eerie elements.

The final piece is a
poem about forgiveness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
