Can Such Things Be

Can Such Things Be by Ambrose Bierce

24 tales of the supernatural penned by the Master of the Mysterious. From ghosts looking for revenge, long lost lovers that roam the in-between realm of shadows, Can Such Things Be? is a compendium of the strange and the supernatural.
This 'special' edition contains the original Denneker (De Nekker) engravings from the 1544 Augsberb version of the 'Dance of Death' depicting Death himself walking among mortals while he beckons them to their graves - a rare book referred to twice by Bierce in 'Can Such Things Be'. So turn the lights down low, pour yourself a drink, and prepare to be taken into a world that only the brave or the foolish dare go.The death of Halpin FrayserThe secret of Macarger's GulchOne summer nightThe moonlit roadA diagnosis of deathMoxon's masterA tough tussleOne of twinsThe haunted valleyA jug of sirupStaley Fleming's hallucinationA resumed identityHazen's brigadeA baby trampThe night-doings at "Deadman's"A story that is untrueBeyond the wallA psychological shipwreckThe middle toe of the right footJohn Mortonson's funeralThe realm of the unrealJohn Bartine's watchA story by a physicianThe damned thingHaIta the shepherdAn inhabitant of CarcosaThe Stranger
