Some of the most chilling and macabre tales in the English language can be attributed to American journalist and short story writer Ambrose Bierce.

He has also penned scathing views of frontier life and its lawlessness, and the most caustic treatises on war.

These include "A Horseman in the Sky", "Chickamauga", "The Applicant", "A Holy Terror", "An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge"-- perhaps his most famous story of all, -- and 21 other disturbing tales.
