Reseñas editoriales
Narrator Mark Hammer's clear and authoritative tone allows the telling of these gripping stories of the macabre to be even more engaging and terrifying. Hammer uses vocal gymnastics to turn these carefully crafted stories into mini-movies that play in the listener's mind. His rendition of the most famous story in the collection, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," is both chilling and heartbreaking. The production sounds as if Hammer were narrating from "the other side," making these tales even more appealing.
Resumen del Editor
American journalist, short story writer, and poet, Ambrose Bierce is best known for his formidably vicious wit - given free rein in his famous column, "The Prattler." But his stories were elegantly crafted, with a compelling blend of realistic detail, clever plot twists, and his own sardonic humor. These 8 macabre stories, read here by Mark Hammer, establish Bierce as a master of the genre. Included are "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," "The Damned Thing," "A Watcher by the Dead," "An Inhabitant of Carcosa," "The Famous Gilson Bequest," "The Eyes of the Panther," "The Secret of Macarger's Gulch," and "The Night-Doings at 'Deadman's'."

One of the great adventure novels of our language creates a most engaging central character, Nostromo. A picturesque man of action and popular hero, Nostromo lives to be "well-spoken of" by the citizens of Costaguana, the mythical South American banana republic where the story takes place. Around this figure, Conrad spins a story of revolution, politics, and racial conflict as complex as Nostromo, the man whose greatest enemy is himself.

Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Policeman, Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Ambrose Bierce left behind a nasty reputation and more than 90 short stories that are perfect expressions of his sardonic genius. This volume of selected stories represent an unprecedented accomplishment in American literature. In their iconoclasm and needle-sharp irony, their formal and thematic ingenuity and element of surprise, they differ markedly from the fiction admired in Bierce's time.

"Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him."

Death by execution has historically been ritualized, perhaps to absolve those accomplishing the execution from guilt or blame.

Historia
Horror and the supernatural are the background of Bierce's short stories. His style is marked by vivid description, grim situations, and sardonic twists of fate. In terms of technique, he was far ahead of his time and his short stories are among the very best in American literature.

Poe-like with more of a Western writers style
Perplexing Bierce isn't held in higher regard. His pragmatism, satire, and stoicism him distinct from Poe
--and his own death is something of a legend.
Bierce influenced Hemingway, Crane, Vonnegut.
He also introduced the fictional city of Carcosa, a locale later used by Chambers, Lovecraft, Karl Edward Wagner, Lin Carter, Marion Zimmer Bradley, James Blish and many others--and is still used by modern weird fiction writers.

Very satisfying!!
Ambrose Bierce is one of weird fiction’s greatest authors, with imaginative stories and unbelievable pacing. His writing is everything that you would desire in tales of the strange and macabre, with an acerbic wit and scalding commentary that is not to be found this side of a Dickens novel! Not to short change Mark Hammer ( classic moniker, Mr. Hammer! ), his narration is excellent on all counts! The recording quality is splendid and if you haven’t yet, you really ought to! Add this collection to your library, it is absolutely wonderful!

Supremely Enjoyable
I have been reading epic saga's, the kind that have 12,15,20 books in a continuing story for so many years that I had forgotten all about the short story. If they are any good, they are like having a power nap, or a high carb energy drink. Very satisying and supremely enjoyable.
These stories are all set in a pre-industrial, America. (Perhaps 1750-1800)
I enjoyed every story presented with one or two of the endings leaving me suddenly surprised with my mouth open in aghast! Even the other stories left me with some remaining feelings and thoughts that pleasantly stuck with me.
To me, the stories had a feel of a more realistic "Twi-light Zone" set in the early west.
I usually always enjoy an author who is elequent with his prose and this author's script gave this excellent narrator/voice actor some very meaty characters and twisty plots to work with. It was undoubtedly a pleasure to listen to,

A Classic
This story had been an example for writing short stories in a 1985 writing class. I was glad to reread it nearly 40 years has passed… and this book is still a classic. I enjoyed listening to it. And I enjoyed the other stories by this author; that I previously hadn’t been exposed to. He is a good author and I enjoyed the reader also thank you.

Well Read!
It is not the The ghost stories that will get your attention as much as the narrator’s skill of telling them. His voice and cadence are perfect for these fun short stories.

Fun Stories But A Learning Performer
My first experience with Bierce. This is a collection of short stories of odd tales. Though odd, the stories are fun and interesting. They will entertain you.
The performance gets better as the stories progress. In the first, there are dead spots where it seems perhaps the recording was stopped and restarted. Associated with these pauses, or perhaps in addition to them, one can hear the performer taking a breath.
That being said, the performers voice and narration are both pleasant to listen to, appropriate for the tales, and once the pauses and breaths stop, well done.
Recommended.
