Owl Creek; Horror Stories of Ambrose Bierce

Ambrose Bierce, a moral realist that bordered on the cynic, was in his time, known primarily for his journalistic works. In time, though, his exceptional prowess in fiction, especially that of weird and horror fiction, has come to shine as one of the best in American history. The depth and reality contained within these forty-seven tales of horror firmly cement Ambrose Bierce as a corner-stone of the genre.  From the grim reality of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge to the otherworldly nightmarescape of The Death of Halpin Frayser, Bierce was truly a master of his craft.
