Produktbeschreibung

What if the most powerful monster was invisible-except for the carnage it left behind?

First printed in 1893, The Damned Thing pioneered "cosmic horror" decades before Lovecraft, pitting humankind against a force beyond perception. This modern translation preserves Bierce's razor-edged satire and sardonic humor while updating archaic language for maximum suspense.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

• Invisible Terror, Unstoppable Force - Confront a creature that color, light, and shadow cannot reveal.
• Courtroom & Wilderness Collide - Experience a tense coroner's inquest framing flashbacks of primal horror.
• Early Foundations of Cosmic Dread - See how Bierce paved the way for The Colour out of Space, Bird Box, and more.
• Lean, Contemporary Prose - Faithful to Bierce's tone, streamlined for today's thriller fans.

Short, savage, and unforgettable, this definitive edition is perfect for readers who crave quick bursts of pure, unsettling fear.
