Autorenporträt
AMBROSE BIERCE (1842-1914?) was one of nineteenth-century America's most caustic and commanding men of letters-a soldier, journalist, satirist, and master of the macabre. Born in Ohio and raised in Indiana, Bierce served with distinction in the Union Army's 9th Indiana Infantry Regiment, fighting in some of the Civil War's bloodiest campaigns. After the war he became a regular columnist at the San Francisco Examiner and one of the most influential journalists on the West Coast. In addition to his journalistic work, he wrote piercingly about the ghastly things he had seen in the war and was a pioneer of the psychological horror story. In late 1913, at the age of seventy-one, Bierce crossed the border into revolutionary Mexico, intending to witness PanchöVilla's campaign as an observer. He was never seen again.
