A grieving lover makes a startling and tragic discovery on a visit to a graveyard in this chillingly atmospheric sketch by the master of the short story, Guy de Maupassant.

The Midnight Reading is a special series of dramatic readings of lost classics from the world of macabre fiction that have inspired our show, **[Fireside Mystery Theatre](https://www.firesidemysterytheatre.com)**. We hope to encourage you, dear listeners, to embrace the joy of books and to build your own collection of dark literature.
