About the book
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and Other Haunting Tales gathers fifteen of Ambrose Bierce's most enduring works of horror and the uncanny, including \"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,\" \"The Death of Halpin Frayser,\" \"The Moonlit Road,\" \"The Damned Thing,\" and \"An Inhabitant of Carcosa.\" Each embodies Bierce's merciless wit and pitiless realism, his fascination with the blurred borders between waking and dream, life and annihilation. His soldiers, visionaries, and victims inhabit a moral wilderness where the ghost's presence is often indistinguishable from memory, guilt, or madness. Bierce's imagination fuses the Gothic and the psychological into an art at once precise and hallucinatory. His prose-unsentimental, gleaming as steel-transforms the horror story into a form of metaphysical inquiry. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline.
