Before he trailed off into the wilds of Mexico, never to be heard from again, Ambrose Bierce achieved a public persona as "bitter Bierce" and "the devil's lexicographer." He left behind a nasty reputation and more than ninety short stories that are perfect expressions of his sardonic genius. Brought together in this volume, these stories represent an unprecedented accomplishment in American literature. In their iconoclasm and needle-sharp irony, their formal and thematic ingenuity and element of surprise, they differ markedly from the fiction admired in Bierce's time. Readers familiar with the classic "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" will want to turn to Bierce's other Civil War stories. Also included here are his horror stories, among them "The Death of Halpin Frayser" and "The Damned Thing," and such tall tales as "Oil of Dog" and "A Cargo of Cat,"… (mere)

A mix of horror, war, and tall tales. For the most part, the stories are very short, and told from an omnipotent point of view. Some are more like reportage or anecdotes. Probably wouldn't read again, but it's interesting to see the work of one of these early American horror writers. ( )

This was a collection of short stories that I would, for my own taste, say were mostly misses. While there were some interesting parts and stories throughout, none of them really grasped my attention and entertained or enlightened me. For this reason, I do not give it a high ranking.

2 stars. ( )

A really good writer. I can't imagine what horrors he witnessed in his lifetime. His disappearance will always be a mystery. Some of these stories are genuinely spooky. He was without a doubt a pioneer of the weird and fantastic. ( )

If you are a fan of the Twilight Zone, as I am, you will love these stories. They really have the same feel. ( )
