### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A mixed bag, but ultimately worth it for the classic stories
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2022*

Some truly classic war and ghost stories. Unfortunately in the case of the latter, the sequence becomes monotonous, with the same trick ending to every tale. The  sheer repetition is almost absurd and certainly infuriating. There’s a single gem of weird fiction that stands out, not least of all because it gave birth to Chamber’s The King in Yellow and the dread city of Carcossa. I wish Bierce had written more fantasy. Humorous surreal specimens occupy the latter portion of the book—interesting but grating. Overall, worth it for the few absolute classics, which are worthy of being read over and over again.

    Not JUST the author of "that" French episode of The Twilight Zone.

I'm a forty-percent disabled Vietnam combat-veteran.My great-grandfather was a disabled combat veteran;my grandfather (1865-1960) a 100%-disabled veteran;Dad (1913-1999) was a 20%-disabled WWII veteran...a SEVERE injury c-a-n effect the rest of your life.Ambrose Bierce---during the American Civil War---was shot in the face.The bullet travelled around the outside of his skull, and came out the back of his head.Bullets in THOSE days were more round than today, but, his survival---none-the-less---was miraculous. His stories reflect war, horror, and death... in a fraction of the words thatanyone else would stretch out into a long [boring] novel.My wind wonders, and easily. I LOVE short story anthologies. THIS Bierce's collection is re-markable for someone that was in combat about the time MY grandfather was born.In certain ways I can relate to this satirist. He saw things differently, and seemingly, had astory about a wide range of subjects.He was well educated with a compact delivery. Not everyone can write... novels, OR, shortstories. Many of these [short] stories, are written in both first- and third-person. He, often,comes to a fork-in-the-road, and does what many of us would do... he takes it.The slightly different paths he takes in his stories are, OFTEN, pulled to finality in the finalhalf-dozen words.The Civil War stories are the best ones, but, the horror stories are ahead of their time, andnothing like what you'd see on The SyFy Channel. Bierce---because of his injury, and seeingDEATH so often early in his life---has a macabre fascination with death, but, leaves gore tothe imagination.The "tall tales" are cleverly ridiculous.Bierce was agnostic, but, puts Christianity into a fair number of his stories... The Bible, before theturn of the 20th century was often the o-n-l-y book in your house... inscribed with the members ofthe family tree.IF YOU ONLY remember ONE thing about my review, remember this:Ask YOUR grandfather about HIS father... before it's too late.Sincerely Yours,SFC Michael John McCluskeyU.S.Navy & U.S.Army, RetiredLove ya 'Gran'pa John... see ya soon!

    Genius writing
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2017*

This author has the ability to format and present a completely compelling short story that is rich and emotional and leaves you with thoughts of it many days after. When I think literary hierarchy, he is there with the likes of Sasson, Owens, Hemingway, Vonnegut, Haara etc. This book separates into horror, war horror and tall tales. The latter being the shortest part and shortest tales and shortest in remembrance for myself. His war stories haunted me more Tran the horror. It is easily noticed the man knew the woods. The feel. The isolation. The darkness. The imagination at work in solitude and fear. He observed many minute details and replays them vividly. Out of all my anthologies this is the first and only one I picked up most often and have read the ENTIRE thing. If you are the type who like a list of some stand outs that aren’t commonly mentioned here ya go:Haita the ShepherdA diagnosis of deathSuitable surroundingsA baby trampBoarded windowChickamaugaAffair at Coulter’s NotchCoup de GraceStory of a Conscience and the below:An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge affected me in so many emotional ways I almost felt violated but satisfied as it is the best short story I have personally ever read.
