Info su questo ebook

Ambrose Bierce scrisse numerosi racconti dell’orrore e del soprannaturale, generi che riflettevano il suo profondo tormento interiore. Questa raccolta contiene molte tra le sue più suggestive storie di fantasmi e di case infestate: morbose, ciniche, inquietanti, capaci di trascinare il lettore nelle regioni crepuscolari dello spirito e nei più oscuri recessi della mente.
Opere cariche di terrore ma, al contempo, pervase di tetra ironia, con echi di Poe, del romanzo gotico e dei racconti romantici, dotate dell’impronta inconfondibile di un autore che ha conosciuto di persona gli spettri che da sempre tormentano l’umanità.
I personaggi di Bierce — poeti posseduti, vili aristocratici, professionisti abbietti, corpi rianimati, malfattori perseguitati — vivono in un mondo misero e perverso. Che si tratti di omicidi, vendette dall’oltretomba, sparizioni inspiegabili, dimore infestate o anime inquiete, le storie di Bierce rappresentano uno dei migliori esempi di narrativa soprannaturale di tutti i tempi e hanno ispirato autori come Robert W. Chambers e H.P. Lovecraft.

Ambrose Bierce

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was an American novelist and short story writer. Born in Meigs County, Ohio, Bierce was raised Indiana in a poor family who treasured literature and extolled the value of education. Despite this, he left school at 15 to work as a printer’s apprentice, otherwise known as a “devil”, for the Northern Indianan, an abolitionist newspaper. At the outbreak of the American Civil War, he enlisted in the Union infantry and was present at some of the conflict’s most harrowing events, including the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. During the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in 1864, Bierce—by then a lieutenant—suffered a serious brain injury and was discharged the following year. After a brief re-enlistment, he resigned from the Army and settled in San Francisco, where he worked for years as a newspaper editor and crime reporter. In addition to his career in journalism, Bierce wrote a series of realist stories including “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and “Chickamauga,” which depict the brutalities of warfare while emphasizing the psychological implications of violence. In 1906, he published The Devil’s Dictionary, a satirical dictionary compiled from numerous installments written over several decades for newspapers and magazines. In 1913, he accompanied Pancho Villa’s army as an observer of the Mexican Revolution and disappeared without a trace at the age of 71.
