Can Such Things Be?

A body that rises and walks without its soul.

A thing that cannot be seen, moving through the wheat. A road in the moonlight where three people meet, each with a different account of a single death. Ambrose Bierce - soldier, satirist, and the grimmest ironist in American letters - wrote the supernatural as a man who had seen too much of the real thing to flinch.

Gathered here are all twenty-four tales of Can Such Things Be? (1893), among them "The Death of Halpin Frayser," "The Damned Thing," "The Moonlit Road," "Moxon's Master," and "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" - spare, exact, and colder than the grave.

This Lightbound Library edition sets the complete collection afresh, bound behind an original painting.
