Nothing is so improbable as what is true. It is the unexpected that occurs; but that is not saying enough; it is also the unlikely, one might almost say the impossible. (Ambrose Bierce)
This collection of fourteen of Ambrose Bierce's short stories begins with "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", Bierce's best-known story and a good example of how his writing jars the listener out of a comfortable complacency with its improbable twists of plot, tone, or perspective.
It was for this reason that Bierce wrote short stories rather than novels. According to literary critic Cathy N. Davidson, "Bierce derided the novel of his time precisely because it groaned under the burden of a predictable, ponderous devotion to probability."
This collection includes:
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"
"Beyond the Wall"
"What I Saw of Shiloh"
"The Eyes of the Panther"
"Chickamauga"
"The Death of Halpin Frayser"
"A Son of the Gods: A Study in the Present Tense"
"A Resumed Identity"
"One of the Missing"
"The Damned Thing"
"Killed at Resaca"
"Moxon's Master"
"An Affair of Outposts"
"A Horseman in the Sky"
