Ambrose Bierce 
Spook House 
Terrifying Tales of the Macabre

Death awaits them all A man stares into the deep river swirling beneath him hands tied, noose around his neck and waits for the order to end his life. Another is trapped for eternity in a room full of corpses. A cowering woman is strangled in the dead of night. These are just some of the countless victims for whom all hope is lost in Ambrose Bierce s chilling stories of death, delusion and the supernatural.
