The Complete Short Stories of Ambrose Bierce

by Ambrose Bierce, Ernest Jerome Hopkins (Editor), Cathy N. Davidson (Foreword by)

Overview

Before he trailed off into the wilds of Mexico, never to be heard from again, Ambrose Bierce achieved a public persona as 'bitter Bierce' and 'the devil's lexicographer.' He left behind a nasty reputation and more than ninety short stories that are perfect expressions of his sardonic genius. Brought together in this volume, these stories represent an unprecedented accomplishment in American literature.
