The Short Stories of Ambrose Gwinett Bierce, Volume I

Rating:
Summary: Exceeded my wildest expectations
Review: I bought this audio version of Bierce stories because it contained a few pieces I had not read. But since the AudioFile Magazine review above was not encouraging, I came within a whisker of passing it up. Luckily, I went ahead and got it. If you're a Bierce fan, you MUST have this. Forget what the fool above wrote. The narrator of these pieces is sensational. Every single story possesses that eeriness which is intrinsic to Bierce's material. How he accomplishes this through vocal range, characterization and music and sound effects has to be heard to be believed. Take my advice and get this volume, then go home, turn out the lights and listen to "The Moonlit Road." Brilliant.
