Ambrose Bierce (1842-1913) was a famed editor, journalist, satirist, and short story writer. His short stories, often featuring twist endings, are both widely-read and highly influential, and his famous The Devil’s Dictionary is considered a classic of sardonic wit. While reporting on the revolution in Mexico in 1913 he disappeared and was never seen again.
