Podcasts about Bierce

1082. Copy editor Jim Norrena joins us this week for a conversation about Ambrose Bierce, his famous "Devil's Dictionary," and his darkly funny take on the world. We look at Bierce's fascinating (and tragic) life, his legendary wordplay, and his mysterious disappearance in Mexico. Plus, we share our favorite biting definitions and quirky facts about his life. We'd love to have coffee with him, but we'd never forget that he was also a feared literary critic! Jim Norrena, MFA, has been writing and editing for more than thirty-five years.

Conocido por su ingenio satírico y su visión sardónica de la naturaleza humana, Ambrose Bierce se ganó el apodo de "Bitter Bierce". Su cinismo burlón queda patente en una de sus obras más conocidas, El diccionario del Diablo. Como escritor, Bierce nos dejó muchos trabajos sobresalientes convirtiéndose en uno de los autores más influyentes. Obras como Incidente en el puente de Owl Creek, Un habitante de Carcosa o La cosa maldita (entre otras muchas) dejan patente su extraordinaria calidad a la hora de narrar historias de corte sobrenatural. En La noche de la pantera, cuyo título original es Los ojos de la pantera, Irene Marlow rechaza una petición de matrimonio a su amado Jenner Brading porque le dice que está loca. Para que lo entienda le explica una trágica historia. La ambigüedad de su final permite al lector/oyente discernir entre dos de los géneros en los que sobresalió Bierce: estudios psicológicos y cuentos de lo fantástico.

This week on Astonishing Legends, we conclude our two-part exploration into the enigmatic disappearance of Ambrose Bierce. Last week, we chronicled his vibrant life and career, culminating in his mysterious 1913 journey into Mexico.  This week, we delve deeper, examining the turbulent backdrop of the Mexican Revolution and how it might have played a role in his vanishing. Was Bierce a casualty of the conflict, caught in the crossfire? Or, as some suggest, did he become a victim of Pancho Villa himself?  We explore these theories, considering his known disdain for aging and his fascination with unsolved mysteries, mirroring themes throughout his own macabre writings.  A missing letter and conflicting accounts spark questions about hidden agendas and the possibility of a meticulously planned exit.  While the Grand Canyon suicide theory persists, we weigh the evidence and consider alternative explanations, including the intriguing, if improbable, fringe theories involving crystal skulls and ancient ruins in the Paquimé region of Mexico.  Ultimately, we're left to ponder whether Bierce's disappearance was a carefully crafted narrative, a tragic accident, or something far more extraordinary.  Join us as we uncover the clues and confront the enduring puzzle of Bierce's final act. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

Ambrose Bierce, famed author of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, vanished without a trace in 1913 at the age of 71. Bierce had a long and storied career, having been a soldier in the Civil War, a journalist, and a successful author. He was known for his dark humor and cynical outlook. In part one of this two-part series, we delve into the mystery of Bierce's disappearance and explore the enduring fascination with this literary enigma. Was it a suicide, a murder, or something even stranger? Join us as we try to unravel the strange case of Ambrose Bierce. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

In December of 1914,71 year-old decorated CivilWar Major,  accomplished journalist, and  famous author Ambrose Bierce wrote his Niece and his secretary to tell them he was going to Mexico to cover the Mexican insurrection led by Pancho Villa and others.He felt likely thathis fate would be probably be that of being lined up against a wall and shot- as these insurrectionists were quick-tempered killers. Not long after, Bierce disappeared completely, and years of searches have not brought any concrete evidence of what happened to him- but the legend told by those who daid they saw him or knew of him in his last days tells the story very much like the one he envisioned. This is his story.

Escribió el cuento An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (El incidente del Puente del Búho) y compiló el léxico satírico, el Diccionario del Diablo. Su vehemencia como crítico y su visión sardónica de la naturaleza humana que mostró en su trabajo le dieron el apodo de «Bitter Bierce» («El amargo Bierce»). En Londres escribió sus primeras narraciones cortas, aparecidas en revistas y recopiladas más tarde en tres tomos, que le crearon fama de humorista cáustico y mordaz.

A parting gift from me – 3 short readings that haven't been released on the main feed before. You'll hear A Little Place Off the Edgware Road by Graham Greene, followed by Sredni Vashtar by Saki, and The Man and the Snake by Ambroise Bierce.The recording for Sredni Vashar is a few years old, so apologies for the dip in audio quality here.

VII La historia que vais a leer, con los ojos cerrados, se centra en Peyton Farquhar, un civil del Sur durante la Guerra Civil Americana, quien es capturado por las fuerzas federales y condenado a ser ahorcado en un puente. Mientras espera su ejecución, Farquhar sueña con escapar y regresar a su hogar. En el puente, es atado y preparado para ser ahorcado mientras un grupo de soldados observa. En el momento crítico, ocurre lo inexplicable. La historia refleja la brutalidad y el sufrimiento de la guerra civil americana. Farquhar anhela la libertad, pero su destino trágico subraya la fragilidad de la vida. El autor, Bierce, utiliza un lenguaje evocador y vívido para sumergir al lector en la mente de Farquhar. La revelación final, sin duda, es un giro inesperado que deja una impresión en el oyente. Ambrose Bierce, señala, cómo el tiempo puede parecer distorsionarse en momentos de crisis, de miedo, de últimos momentos de la vida, tal vez. Mostrando la mente del protagonista, Farquhar, mientras experimenta una percepción alterada del tiempo durante su ejecución y su intento de escape. La historia aborda cómo el protagonista reflexiona sobre su vida y sus seres queridos en sus últimos momentos, lo que invita a la meditación sobre la existencia y el significado de la vida. Juega con la línea entre la realidad y la fantasía. Esto lleva al lector a cuestionar qué es real y qué no. La historia se desarrolla en el contexto de la Guerra Civil Americana, reflejando la brutalidad y el caos del conflicto. Farquhar actúa motivado por su deseo de ayudar a su causa, lo que a su vez resalta las consecuencias trágicas de la guerra en la vida civil. Este relato capta la desesperación y la lucha interna del protagonista, ilustrando cómo las circunstancias extremas pueden llevar a las personas a actuar de maneras inesperadas.

P. Lovecraft.  He also disappeared mysteriously and to this day no one knows exactly how or why in this crazy episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Short fiction fans, here's another episode tailor-made for you. Jude and John sit down and discuss some of our personal "unforgettable" short stories - not necessarily our all-time favorites, but the ones that we just can't get out of our heads... sometimes years or even decades after having read them. A few classics are discussed here (Bierce, Lovecraft, Poe, Wharton, O'Connor) - but for the most part, we try to bring up stories that may not be as well-known or widely anthologized. What follows is a classic BXC conversation that blends the heart-breaking, horrific, hopeful and the "holy sh*t!" into a big stew. We expect it will be seasoned to your liking!

Our week of Scary Stories for Halloween continues with another tale from 1907. Ambrose Bierce was a short story writer, journalist, poet, and a veteran of the American Civil War. He was born in Meigs County, Ohio in a log cabin in 1842. How and where did his life come to an end? We don't know. In 1913, Bierce told reporters that he was travelling to Mexico to gain first-hand experience of the Mexican Revolution. He disappeared and was never seen again. First published in Cosmopolitan in January 1907, The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce… Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He was told the brightly colored red room in Lorraine Castle was haunted. Despite vague warnings from the three custodians who reside in the castle, he is not a believer in such things and ascends to "the Red Room" to begin his night's vigil. That's tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

[ARCHIVES] Ambrose Bierce was an American Civil War veteran. As a Union soldier Bierce fought in many battles, was wounded, and went on to become a pioneer in the horror genre, helping introduce the psychological thriller to the American story. American tradition is steeped in rich horror and veterans like Bierce who have taken their experiences in war and service and twisted them into terrifying tales for the public are a staple in that tradition. Edgar Allen Poe, a king of the American gothic, had a stint in the Army, enlisting under a fake name and age in 1827. Rod Serling, the creator and host of The Twilight Zone, fought in World War II, earning a bronze star and purple heart before going on to terrifying millions with dark, otherworldly frights on TV. These are some of the few, but impactful authors who have transposed the horrors of war into macabre fiction – and today, that tradition continues. On this episode of Fire Watch, we explore that tradition through contemporary authors – who are also veterans – in a reading of Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.  This episode contains adult themes, violence and swearing. Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.com. In this episode: Drew F. Lawrence, Briane Keene, Jonathan Raab, Dacia Arnold, Russell James and Weston Ochse.

Thank you very much to Dan for commissioning this episode!It's the final episode of coverage of Tongue Eater, and we're getting into the setup for what's coming instead of resolving things...which MAKES SENSE! But I thought I was going to get closure on one or two things at least, but we don't. Bierce is making us wait.That jerk.Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with the start of Last Echo Of The Lord Of Bells!

Su participación como romántico voluntario en la Guerra Civil Americana, en cuyos horrores y sangre chapoteó hasta caer malherido en la batalla de Kennesaw Mountain, le inspiró una serie de relatos que recopiló años más tarde en uno de sus libros más conocidos, Cuentos de soldados y civiles (1891). Esta experiencia traumática impresionó al joven Bierce de tal modo que su carácter se tornó pesimista y misántropo, y su humor, siniestro y cruel, al punto de ganarse el apodo de «Bitter Bierce». Tras abandonar el ejército en 1866, se instala en San Francisco, donde comienza a colaborar en diversos diarios, sobre todo en el New Letters periódico que llegó a dirigir de 1868 a 1872 y el Argonaut, en cuyas páginas publicó una serie de definiciones satíricas que posteriormente reuniría en su famoso El Diccionario del Diablo (1906). A los setenta años, agobiado por el asma y hastiado de la vida, Bierce decide viajar a México, que estaba en plena revolución. Nunca más se supo de él, la fecha de su muerte se desconoce. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 📌Contenido extra en nuestro canal informativo de Telegram: https://t.me/historiasparaserleidas 🕷 Muchísimas gracias a los taberneros galácticos que apoyan este podcast, vamos rumbo a las estrellas,🌌🚀 ¿nos acompañas?

In October of 1888, three articles about strange, unsolved disappearances were published in the San Francisco Examiner. In the first, a slave owner in Alabama vanishes into thin air right before a group of eyewitnesses. In the second, a drunk Englishman takes a bet he can't run to the next town without stopping and vanishes without a trace after stumbling, nearly falling, but never hitting the ground. And in the third, a sixteen-year-old boy leaves his family's farmhouse to get some water from the nearby spring and is never seen again—even though his voice is heard on several occasions by his family, crying out from a distance, before growing fainter and fainter over the course of months and eventually fading away entirely.What these three articles had in common, aside from their mysterious nature, was the name of the author: Ambrose Bierce. Today, the stories are known far and wide and have become practically enmeshed in the DNA of modern paranormal lore—told and retold so many times that they've turned into urban legends that entirely ignore their origins. What may not be as well known, however, is the fact that Bierce himself would later become one of the most famous unsolved mysterious disappearances of the 20th century.What happened to Ambrose Bierce?

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

The Shadow On The Dial, and Other Essays 1909

Ambrose Bierce was an American Civil War veteran. As a Union soldier Bierce fought in many battles, was wounded, and went on to become a pioneer in the horror genre, helping introduce the psychological thriller to the American story. American tradition is steeped in rich horror and veterans like Bierce who have taken their experiences in war and service and twisted them into terrifying tales for the public are a staple in that tradition. Edgar Allen Poe, a king of the American gothic, had a stint in the Army, enlisting under a fake name and age in 1827. Rod Serling, the creator and host of The Twilight Zone, fought in World War II, earning a bronze star and purple heart before going on to terrifying millions with dark, otherworldly frights on TV. These are some of the few, but impactful authors who have transposed the horrors of war into macabre fiction – and today, that tradition continues. On this episode of Fire Watch, we explore that tradition through contemporary authors – who are also veterans – in a reading of Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.  Appearing in this episode: Weston Ochse, Russell James, Dacia Arnold, Drew Lawrence, Jonathan Raab, Brian Keene This episode contains adult themes, violence and swearing.

Can Such Things Be by Ambrose Bierce audiobook. 24 short stories in fairly typical Bierce fashion - ghostly, spooky, to be read (or listened to) in the dark, perhaps with a light crackling fire burning dimly in the background. Stories of ghosts, apparitions, and strange, inexplicable occurrences are prevalent in these tales, some of which occur on or near Civil War fields of battle, some in country cottages, and some within urban areas. Can Such Things Be? implies and relates that anything is possible, at any time.

"'Are you serious?—do you really believe that a machine thinks?' I got no immediate reply; Moxon was apparently intent upon the coals in the grate, touching them deftly here and there with the fire-poker till they signified a sense of his attention by a brighter glow."   A prescient nineteenth-century classic explores topics that are timely today, and even ventures into timeless questions about life and consciousness, all with a dark Gothic atmosphere. The story is followed by a discussion that veers into murky depths!

On the shores of Lake Hali, in the star cluster Hyades stands the doomed city of Carcosa. Created by Bierce, developed by Chambers, and embraced by many others in fiction, games, and television, Carcosa is a mysterious and dread location. Our panelists discuss representations of the city and its inhabitants in different works, and how the mythology of Carcosa developed and expanded over time.

Hastur, El Rey de Amarillo, "Aquel que no debe ser nombrado", es una de esas entidades presentes en los mitos de los mortales desde que la civilización bautizó las estrellas... Y mucho antes de que el Signo Amarillo encontrase su propio culto, antes de que su nombre se asociara con los designios de Aldebarán, el último de los pastores nómadas de las montañas de Llardana, le ofrecía plegarias en un viejo mausoleo de piedra. La suya, es nuestra historia de esta noche... Un relato bucólico y apasionado que sorprenderá a los que desconocen el verdadero origen de esta entidad, adoptada tiempo después por H.P. Lovecraft, que tomó los ingredientes más oscuros del relato de Bierce, para incluirlo en su panteón de temibles deidades primigenias. El pastor Haïta es pues un guardián, y su bucólico relato, uno de los más renombrados ejemplos de lo que el maestro Ambrose Bierce era capaz de imaginar cuando se trataba de emular las viejas fábulas de la sagrada tradición. Así que ya lo saben amigos, apaguen las luces, enciendan una vela, y prepárense para un sorprendente cuento fundacional de los Mitos de Cthulhu Gracias a todos nuestros mecenas por hacer posible este proyecto, si quieres apoyarnos o encontrar más información no dudes en visitar nuestras redes: https://linktr.ee/NoviembreNocturno Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

El incidente del puente del Búho es una indagación psicológica en la mente de un condenado a la horca justo en el instante previo a ser ejecutado. La necesidad humana de escapar de la muerte es el tema que lleva a Bierce a construir esta inquietante historia. Y lo hace mediante un constraste sorprendente de ritmos y tiempos narrativos. De la escena inmóvil, casi pictórica, de la preparación de la ejecución se pasa, inesperadamente, a un intento de huida trepidante y dominado por sensaciones de desesperación alucinatoria. Con el desenlace llega el impactante choque de los dos planos narrativos y la comprensión global de la peripecia experimentada por Peyton Farquhar. Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842-1914?) dedicó buena parte de su carrera literaria al periodismo satírico, así como a escribir relatos de terror que le aseguraron un lugar destacado en la historia de la literatura norteamericana como un consumado maestro del humor negro. Su participación como romántico voluntario en la Guerra Civil Americana, en cuyos horrores y sangre chapoteó hasta caer malherido en la batalla de Kennesaw Mountain, le inspiró una serie de relatos que recopiló años más tarde en uno de sus libros más conocidos, Cuentos de soldados y civiles (1891). Esta experiencia traumática impresionó al joven Bierce de tal modo que su carácter se tornó pesimista y misántropo, y su humor, siniestro y cruel, al punto de ganarse el apodo de «Bitter Bierce». Tras abandonar el ejército en 1866, se instala en San Francisco, donde comienza a colaborar en diversos diarios, sobre todo en el New Letters periódico que llegó a dirigir de 1868 a 1872 y el Argonaut, en cuyas páginas publicó una serie de definiciones satíricas que posteriormente reuniría en su famoso El Diccionario del Diablo (1906). A los setenta años, agobiado por el asma y hastiado de la vida, Bierce decide viajar a México, que estaba en plena revolución. Nunca más se supo de él, la fecha de su muerte se desconoce.

Temp V El libro que hoy os traigo, no es de terror, aunque crea una tensión que os agradará, además, creo que es un texto necesario para el que no lo conozca. Conoceremos también, misterios, de la vida de este escritor, incluso… os adelanto, su desaparición, ya que no se sabe qué le ocurrió ni dónde puede estar su cuerpo. Su obra tal vez más conocida o de más renombre es Diccionario del Diablo. A lo largo de su vida, por su actitud, y sobre todo por su pluma, fue conocido como Bierce «el Amargo», el «Hombre Más Malvado de San Francisco», el «Lexicógrafo del Diablo». Una vez dijo: Hombre. Especie animal tan sumida en la ensimismada contemplación de lo que piensa que es, que a menudo se olvida de plantearse lo que evidentemente debiera ser. Su principal ocupación es el exterminio de otros animales y de su propia especie, la cual, a pesar de todo, se sigue reproduciendo con tal rapidez como para poblar y destruir todas las zonas habitables del planeta y Canadá.

The show which can originally be found at kgov.com/crime [Updated June 13, 2021] - The death penalty is at the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. - Salvation is presented in terms of crime and punishment. - The Bible is a criminal justice textbook. - Five of the Ten Commandments are for criminal justice - See below our list of ways to reduce crime. Murders per Million Source: See the FBI's 2018 Homicide Data Table 6 and the simple spreadsheet calculation. While many crimes go unreported, even sexual assaults, murder is almost always reported. This chart's statistics are highly reliable. Won't vs. Can't: Public policy should prioritize deterrence over inability. Human beings are almost infinitely creative. Thus, a government's top priority should be making it so that people won't commit crime rather than that they can't commit crime. List of Ways: Don't worry! Below, in our List of Ways to Reduce Crime, of the 25 specifics, none of them say, let's just stop shooting each other; don't judge; just love everyone; love God; all sins are equal; or forgive everyone. Flashback #1: Court TV interviews Bob Enyart regarding Scott Peterson's death sentence. Flashback #2: We purchased OJ Simpson's memorabilia at auction and then burned both his Hall of Fame Award and his Heisman '68 Jersey (which had been hanging in his Brentwood mansion) to call for the installation of a new criminal justice system in America. See KGOV.com/oj. Flashback #3: Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick as documented at ShadowGov.com and as an editor of the Wall Street Journal wrote, that Bill Clinton's rape of Juanita Broaddrick was an event that "in fact took place." Hear also Bob's worldwide exclusive interview with Juanita Broaddrick and with nurse Norma Rogers, her friend who found Broaddrick wounded and in tears shortly after the assault. Flashback #4: BEL aired never-before-heard Columbine recordings and we get to the real story (i.e., one murderer's Natural Selection t-shirt) behind the massacre, the search warrant application that was squashed that may have prevented the murders, and the disgraced sheriff's refusal to let SWAT intervene. Flashback #5: Check out Bob Enyart's phone call to Michael Jackson attorney's office on the very day that Mark Geragos threatened to sue anyone who "besmirched Jackson's reputation" and see the three pieces of information on the homosexual child molester that Bob gave to the Santa Barbara District Attorney. Flashback #6: Reporters whom we identify by name from the New York Times, the LA Times, and Reuters called for comment about the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Springs. But as fake news they all refused to show the petition signature or even report that the kgov.com/hero Officer Garrett Swasey who was murdered by the pothead who shot up the mill had been helping us to try to stop all killing at that abortion mill, including by the abortionist. Flashback #7: After our meager effort to get justice for JonBenet failed, we presented our Clue that Breaks the Case and our Concise List of Inculpatory Evidence Against the Ramseys including in this 200,000+ views YouTube: Five of the Ten Commandments: Five of the Bible's Ten Commandments lay the foundation for a valid criminal justice system: - Do not murder (basis for the right to life and prohibiting crimes of bodily harm crimes) - Do not steal (basis for the right to own private property and prohibiting socialism and other economic crimes)- Do not commit adultery (basis for prohibiting extra-marital intimacy, etc.) - Do not bear false witness (prohibiting of kgov.com/perjury as the basis for the right to due process) - Do not covet (goes to establishing motive in court proceedings) See kgov.com/americas-criminal-code for our one-page long proposed criminal code that can replace a million pages of the country's current codes. Death Penalty at the Heart of the Gospel of Christ: Question: Do any New Testament people or books support execution?Answer: As shown directly in the verses below, Jesus, Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Hebrews, Revelation, and an angel all give strong support for the death penalty. But first consider the case of an American mass murderer. Here are the New Testament scriptures this article quotes: "For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar." -Apostle Paul, Acts 25:11 "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying... 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say..." -Jesus Christ, Mat. 15:3‑4 & Mark 7:8‑11 …rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. For [the governing authority] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. -Paul, Rom. 13:3-4 And if anyone wants to harm them… he must be killed… -Apostle John, Rev. 11:5 he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. -John, Rev. 13:10 Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies (present tense) without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot. Hebrews 10:28‑29 [death penalty = deterrent for unbelief] "[we] are under the same condemnation, indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong" -repentant criminal being executed Luke 23:40-41 Here are a few Old Testament scriptures for capital punishment: Be afraid of the sword for yourselves; for wrath brings the punishment of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment. Job 19:29 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance… So that men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely He is God who judges in the earth." Ps. 58:10‑11 "Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man." Gen. 9:6 'take no ransom for the life of a murderer… but he shall surely be put to death' Num. 35:31‑33 "Will you profane Me among My people… killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live…?" Ezek. 13:19 Thus the death penalty still applies for murder, kidnapping, etc. But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless... for murderers [Ex. 21:16]... for perjurers... -Paul 1 Tim. 1:8-10 Finally, KGOV's New Testament Support for Capital Punishment explains that Christians should not advocate for the death penalty for the Mosaic symbolic offenses. Why not? For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law Hebrews 7:12 As of shortly after Christ's death, no government, not even Israel's, should punish, let alone execute, those who violate the symbolic ordinances which reinforced Israel's priestly role (Lev. 24:16; Mat. 15:4; etc.). Listener's Neighbors Murdered: Please pray for a BEL listener going to visit in jail a husband who turned himself in, who murdered his wife on Feb. 21, 2019. Both were Chuck's neighbors. Our listener will urge the murderer to forbid his defense attorneys from entering a not guilty plea, and even to dismiss them. Further, that he should not fight the death penalty. And, even if he asks God to forgive Him to save His soul (which would be wise, that should have no affect on the punishment that he is due in this life,

Different forms shape knowledge in different ways. In the fifth episode, Michael Coyle and Alan Swensen introduce a German and an American scholar who study the aphoristic form, namely Gerhard Neumann (1934-2017) and Adam Gopnik (b. 1956). These introductions serve as a starting point for a discussion of the thinkers Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914), Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), Dorothy Parker (1893-1967), and Elias Canetti (1905-1994). Key themes include the tension between analytical and spiritual forms of wisdom literature, the conflict between thought and feeling, dogmatism, and epistemological humility.

El maestro Bierce, nos da en pocas palabras una gran moraleja en este cuento.Nos leemos en los comentarios.

Krysta, Laura and Dean discuss some mysterious disappearances but first Krysta lays out some interesting facts about salamanders. After we discuss these freaky amphibians we look into some odd disappearances including Frederick Valentich; a 20 year old Australian pilot in training who went missing while reporting an unknown craft that Air Traffic Control couldn't locate, Owen Parfitt a 60 year old mostly paralyzed man that simply went missing one afternoon; the tale of author Ambrose Bierce who vanished after heading to Mexico to serve in Pancho Villa's revolution; or the tale of Angela Hammond who was abducted by a stranger in a pickup truck from a Clinton, Missouri phone booth, and the disappearance of the Sandringhams on a battlefield in Turkey. All these and more we discuss on this episode before we hit 100!

The Middle Toe of the Right Foot by Ambrose Bierce is a ghost story set in the late 19th Century in the American south-west. A tightly crafted tale with at least three twists, even though it's short. Thanks to 23Split23 for recommending it, and Dewayne Hayes for recommending Bierce in general. Amazed it's only the second Bierce story I've done. Well worth it though.

The Eyes of the Panther - was first published in The San Francisco Examiner on 17 October, 1897Our Author Ambrose Bierce -According to witnesses, Bierce died over and over again, all over Mexico.

Bill Bierce is the founder and managing attorney of the law firm Bierce & Kenerson. This is an interesting story in its own right, but for our purposes, Bill is also an expert on what happens when professional service firms experience trauma: when partners fall out, when M&As go wrong, and when governance is found wanting. He is the author of the book Smarter Business Exits which incorporates many of his learnings over and long and illustrious career.I personally learned a huge amount from Bill's experiences with the legal aspects of firm growth and on finishing the interview, immediately organised a governance meeting with my own partners, to implement some of his recommendations.More information at www.joeomahoney.com.Prof. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit.

"The Boarded Window: An Incident in the Life of an Ohio Pioneer" is a short story by American Civil War soldier, wit, and writer Ambrose Bierce. It was first published in The San Francisco Examiner on April 12, 1891 and was reprinted the same year in Bierce's collection Tales of Soldiers and Civilians.

“A HOLY TERROR” by AMBROSE BIERCE #CreepypastaThursday #WeirdDarknessPlease SHARE Weird Darkness with someone who loves paranormal stories, true crime, monsters, or unsolved mysteries like you do! Recommending the show to others helps make it possible for me to keep doing the show!IN THIS EPISODE: It's #CreepypastaThursday, and I'm back with another fictional tale of horror – this time, from classic author Ambrose Bierce. Bierce was a journalist, satirist and, of course, a prolific writer of short stories. Bierce disappeared in Mexico in 1913 and although there has been much speculation about what happened to him, it is unlikely that anyone will ever learn the truth and his fate remains a mystery to this day. Something eerily appropriate for an author known for writing things of horror and the macabre. The story, "A Holy Terror" was first published in the December 23rd, 1882 issue of TheWasp (San Francisco).SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…“A Holy Terror” by Ambrose Bierce (public domain): https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/enb8h3bz Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.
