Book Review of Ghost and Horror Stories of Ambrose Bierce

Ghost and Horror Stories of Ambrose Bierce
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


Here are 24 stories set mostly in the Far West and California. Ghost, yes! Horror, marginally, unless you consider murder (a common thread) to be horror in itself. Probably better titled supernatural tales for that they are. Also, replete with words worth an ounce of gold each although most are now rather archaic. Overall not quite up to the standard of Poe.
