Ambrose Bierce

The Man and the Snake & The Return

The Horror Story, Fear, Terror, Suspense. A Touch of the Macabre.

Only a few great writers have ventured into these dark depths, and perhaps only the great stories of Edgar Allan Poe more often than the acclaimed chilling tales of Ambrose Bierce.

In "The Man and the Snake," a natural fear for scaly, venomous creatures produces quite an unnatural end in Hitchcock fashion.

While in a desolate country house, another man seeks out his destiny with a ghost who cannot rest in "The Return".
