The brutality of war and the eerie shadows of the supernatural collide in these haunting tales. From the grim realities of Civil War battlefields to uncanny encounters with death and fate, Ambrose Bierce crafts chilling and thought-provoking stories that blur the line between reality and nightmare. But in a world where both war and the unknown bring terror, which is truly more horrifying?In the Midst of Life (Tales of Soldiers and Civilians) is a collection of short stories that captures the stark horrors of war and the unsettling presence of the supernatural. With Bierce’s signature wit, realism, and dark irony, these tales depict the psychological toll of battle, the cruelty of fate, and the fragility of human existence. A landmark of 19th-century American literature, this volume remains a masterwork of gothic realism and war fiction.Volume II of the Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce is a facsimile reprint of the 250-copy limited edition of 1909.
