"The Mystery of Evelin Delorme: A Hypnotic Story" by Albert Bigelow Paine is a novel written in the late 19th century.

The story captures the intrigue surrounding memory, personality, and the psychological repercussions of one's past. The plot centers around Julian Paul Goetze, an artist who becomes infatuated with two women: the innocent Eva Delorme and the seductive Evelin March. Through a series of hypnotic suggestions, Evelin takes on a dual personality that intertwines her fate with that of Eva.
