add to cart   close window

The article presents information on various books, "Can Such Things Be?," by Ambrose Bierce, "The Garden of Survival," by Algernon Blackwood" and "The Red One," by Jack London. The collected writings of Bierce is added another group of tales in his accustomed vein. It is an odd thing that nobody knows whether this man whose fancy, through a long lifetime was never far from death, has himself met death or not. His work as a writer is based upon a strong sense of death as the sinister enemy of man, equipped with horror, and leading him into a darkness that seems with inquietude. In the present series of tales, which very well represent him, fierce is too monotonously concerned with the trivialities of death.
