Overview
Seen by contemporaries as a natural successor to Edgar Allan Poe but with the added dimensions of a man who had witnessed true horror fighting in some of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War, Ambrose Bierce was one of Americaās leading convention-defying writers, critics and essayists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ā but still remains relatively unknown by many fans of the genre.
This new collection not only brings together some of Bierceās best and most unusual stories (such as āAn Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridgeā, āThe Moonlit Roadā and āThe Death of Halpin Frayserā) but also highlights those aspects of his life which saw him as a loner, someone who stepped aside from society and observed it as some other being. Even in death Bierce was unconventional, disappearing to join the Mexican Revolution, never to be seen again ā a mystery editor Mike Ashley explores in a closing essay for the book.
