“Arguably the most powerful American writer of horror fiction between Poe and Lovecraft.” —New York Times

Any lover of the dark and unsettling tale will be enthralled by the 11 stories in this collection, all from the pen of the great Ambrose Bierce.

An uncanny murder is relived from 3 startling perspectives; a hunter is driven out of his mind by an invisible, malevolent entity; a werepanther creeps through a window in the dead of night...

Bierce is often seen as the link between Poe and Lovecraft in the American fantastical tradition. From “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”, widely regarded as one of the great American short stories, to “An Inhabitant of Carcosa,” which was a powerful influence on the works of Robert W. Chambers and H.P. Lovecraft, this collection showcases his mastery of the macabre and some of the most famous works of weird fiction ever produced.
