01 - Parenticide Club by Ambrose Bierce

Dive into the darkly fascinating world of Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914?), a journalist, satirist, and masterful short story writer known for his cynical outlook and economical style. Vanishing mysteriously while observing Pancho Villas army, Bierce leaves behind a chilling collection of four grotesque short stories that explore the theme of murder within the family. These tales, viewed through the seemingly innocent eyes of family members‚often the murderer themselves‚offer a haunting yet captivating glimpse into the human psyche.
