Ambrose Bierce 3 hr 31 min read

Fourteen tales of the uncanny from a master of the pitiless and the strange, haunted valleys, thinking machines, and the dead who will not rest.

Ambrose Bierce's 1893 collection gathers his finest supernatural fiction, including the proto-robotic 'Moxon's Master' and the eerie 'The Moonlit Road,' delivered in his cold, exact, unforgiving prose. A landmark of American weird and horror writing. Read it for the mordant, mordantly brilliant ghost stories of one of the genre's sharpest and darkest voices.
