DISTURBING STORIES, by AMBROSE BIERCE
2016

.​Along with his much quoted Devil's Dictionary and his memorable civil war stories Ambrose Bierce (1842 -1914?) had a knack for writing stories that unfold in this uncertain climate in which what we call reality starts to dissolve and give way to other realms, phenomena or states of consciousness that arouse uneasiness in the reader. In these disturbing stories, Bierce tends to combine terror with large doses of irony that ultimately reveal their characters as victims of their own weaknesses and limitations.

A Spanish translation illustrated by me was published by Alianza Editorial on November
 2016 and can be purchased on Amazon

The illustrations below correspond to four of the stories in the book: Moonlit Road, A Summer Night, The Death Of Halpin Frayser and Moxon's Master.
