Collected Fiction Volume 2

Meer over het boek

Ambrose Bierce's Civil War experiences profoundly influenced his fiction, resulting in haunting and memorable stories that emerged in the 1880s. His works often explore themes of psychological terror and the fear of death, exemplified in tales like "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and "Chickamauga." Bierce skillfully blends realism with elements of the bizarre and fantastical, as seen in "One of the Missing" and "A Horseman in the Sky," creating a unique narrative style that captures the complexities of war and human experience.
