A little boy is lost in the wilderness with nothing but his wooden toy knife to protect him, when he comes across a ghastly spectacle of unspeakable terror. Two travellers caught in a storm one night take shelter in a deserted plantation house and discover a room filled with the dead. An old man suspected of murder gets a grisly comeuppance...

These are just some of the countless victims for whom all hope is lost in Ambrose Bierce's chilling stories of death, delusion and the supernatural.
