  Chickamauga is Ambrose Bierce at his most merciless—and most poetic. A young, deaf boy, playing war with a wooden sword, wanders into the real aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. What begins as childlike adventure slowly unfolds into a grotesque, nightmarish vision of human destruction.
  With chilling detachment and uncanny beauty, Bierce paints a surreal and horrifying picture of innocence lost in the fog of war. This story is not just a historical tale—it's a brutal commentary on the illusion of glory, the horror of conflict, and the fragile line between fantasy and reality.

  The Horla

  This chilling tale of one man's descent into madness was published shortly before the author was institutionalized for insanity, and so The Horla has inevitably been seen as informed by Guy de Maupassant's mental illness. While such speculation is murky, it is clear that de Maupassant—hailed alongside Chekhov as father of the short story—was at the peak of his powers in this innovative precursor of first-person psychological fiction. Indeed, he worked for years on The Horla's themes and form, first drafting it as "Letter from a Madman," then telling it from a doctor's point of view, before finally releasing the terrified protagonist to speak for himself in its devastating final version.
