Stories Books Resources Links Think of him as the forgotten brother of Mark Twain. Both had remarkably similar lives, were good friends, and lived in San Francisco around the same time. Bierce, however, followed a different path than Twain. While both had similar humor, and were equals in their genius, Bierce clearly was the better when it came to wit. Public figures quaked in fear of his satirical pen, and newspapers sales soared when he was published. Over the years, many of his jabs at the establishment appeared in local newspapers and were later collected into The Devil's Dictionary, one of the greatest works of satire of the 19th century. Andrew Gray

Forked Tongue The Language of Serpent in the Enlarged Devil's Dictionary of Ambrose Bierce The story of Ambrose Bierce told in the language of his "Devil's Dictionary", using hypertext language to create a fiendish translation of the life and works - and humour - of this acidic satirist and adventurer. KINDNESS Headwords and definitions are taken from The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary , ed. E.J.Hopkins, (1967). Definitions or part-definitions are between "inverted commas", whilst, with due attention to the flow of the argument, not to mention the reader's patience, every attempt, (even down to parenthetical insertion), has been made to obviate the necessity of looking up words in The Devil's Dictionary , it may on occasion, by the very nature of the text under discussion, be helpful, on encountering a word or words underlined, for instance, dissemble , to refer, with the simplest click of the mouse, to that alternative lexicon for a clearer understanding of the whole.

Ambrose Bierce, Master Of The Macabre Literature fan provides a biography of this eccentric nineteenthcentury author of supernatural and Gothic fiction. ambrose Gwinnett bierce was born on June 24, 1842 in Meigs County, Ohio to Marcus Aurelius bierce and Laura Sherwood http://www.creative.net/~alang/lit/horror/bierce.sht

Ambrose Bierce, Master of the Macabre Alan Gullette A mbrose Gwinnett Bierce was born on June 24, 1842 in Meigs County, Ohio to Marcus Aurelius Bierce and Laura Sherwood Bierce. He was a "naughty" child, but, when he was not out playing devilish pranks, he would surround himself with the books of his literature-loving father. To these, he once wrote, he owed "everything." Family conditions were never comfortable and Ambrose Bierce left home at fifteen to become a printer's devil for the Northern Indianian in Warsaw. This position he forfeited at seventeen when he was falsely accused of stealing money, and his family insisted that he enroll in the Kentucky Military Institute. Knowledge in army tactics and map reading gained there would aid him in the Civil War, into which he enlisted in 1861, at nineteen years of age. As biographer Richard O'Conner wrote, "War was the making of Bierce as a man and a writer." Surely this cannot be disputed, for it was in the war that Bierce was surrounded by the dead and the dying. From this grim experience Bierce would emerge at twenty-three a young man with a true understand of death and a destined writer truly capable of transferring the bloody, headless bodies and boar-eaten corpses of the battlefield onto paper (along with other, less gruesome qualities of war). Bierce's war tales are considered by many to be the best writing on war, outranking his contemporary Stephen Crane (author of The Red Badge of Courage ) and even Ernest Hemingway.
