      A bone-chilling collection of uncanny tales from one of the great masters of the ghost story
      A bone-chilling, beautifully produced new collection of 11 uncanny tales from one of the great American masters of the ghost story

      Any lover of dark and unsettling tales will be enthralled by the short stories in this collection, all from the pen of the great Ambrose Bierce.

      Bierce is often seen as the link between Poe and Lovecraft in the American fantastical tradition, and this collection showcases his mastery of the macabre.

      A murder is relived from three startling perspectives; a hunter is driven out of his mind by an invisible, malevolent entity; a man meets a terrifying end in an abandoned house; a werepanther creeps through a window in the dead of night...
