Somber Stories And Tragic Tales

Thereas really nothing like reading about other peopleas miserable lives to make oneself feel better. Somber Stories and Tragic Tales offers some of the dreariest recollections of misfortune and misery ever dreamed up. Filled with sorrowful scenery, crestfallen characters, and pitiable plots, these stories are based upon the philosophy that sometimes bad things just happen. Some of these tales reflect the Shakespearean idea of tragedy, whereas others simply blacken and dampen their own pages with unprecedented gloom. Still others may even teach the reader something about the world, or even about themselves, that they never before realized.
