Books by Ambrose Bierce

Ambrose Bierce is one of the most colorful figures in American literary history. A writer whose "Devil's Dictionary" remains the delight of misanthropes and fans of satire throughout the English-speaking world, he was also a master of the short story form. This volume contains a selection of Bierce's poems, essays and letters on poetry, and poets.

These 23 modern horror stories by American master include "The Eyes of the Panther," "The Damned Thing," and 21 more that will "attract and hold the attention of anyone interested in the horror genre." -- "SF Booklog."

A classic quick-witted dictionary.

An incomparable satirist, Ambrose Bierce became the "laughing devil" of the San Francisco news media, for he was about as discreet as a runaway locomotive, according to H.L.Mencken, and nowhere are his uninhibited irony and gift for verse parody more in evidence than in this "dictionary".

24 short stories in fairly typical Bierce fashion ghostly, spooky, to be read (or listened to) in the dark, perhaps with a light crackling fire burning dimly in the background. Stories of ghosts, apparitions, and strange, inexplicable occurrences are prevalent in these tales, some of which occur on or near Civil War fields of battle, some in country cottages, and some within urban areas. Can Such Things Be? implies and relates that anything is possible, at any time.
