Ambrose Bierce
Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842 ¿ 1914?) was the tenth child in a family of thirteen born on a simple farm in Meigs County, Ohio. He joined the Union army as a private and distinguished himself in many engagements throughout the War Between the States, including the horrific battle of Shiloh. By war's end, he had been commissioned a major. But Bierce despised war and grew to see in it nothing but pain and wasted lives. He moved to San Francisco in the 1870s and drifted into a career as a journalist and then as a writer of short stories. To his friends he was known as "Bitter" Bierce. A well-traveled and troubled man, he constantly relived the horror of war, and was obsessed by the specter of sudden death. Disappearing into Mexico in 1913, he was never seen again.
Included in Volume 1 is "The Moonlit Road", one of the most unforgettable ghost stories ever written. Other examples in this volume of his power to chill are "Beyond the Wall", "An Adventure at Brownville", and "An Inhabitant of Carcosa". "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" draws on Bierce's war experiences and the ever-present reality of death. Masterpieces of this genre include "One of the Missing", "Parker Adderson", and "A Baffled Ambuscade".

Charlton Griffin's narration is up to normal standards (though his spirit medium voice sounds like your uncle trying to impersonate Gollum after a few glasses of red wine), though I perfer the voice he uses for the classics to his sometimes laconic midwestern twang and southern drawl. Music plays a notable role in heightening the tension, something Audio Connoisseur doesn't do much in my experience, but the result is actually rather frightening when you are alone in your house listening in the dead of night. I downloaded these to get in a Halloween Spirit and this audiobook accomplished that with gusto. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY
