"[...] "I give you my word I am quite serious. Oblige me with your name, and favour me with a statement of your business with me at this hour." The disembodied party sank uninvited into a chair, spread out his knees and stared blankly at a Dutch clock with an air of weariness and profound discouragement. Perceiving that his guest was making himself tolerably comfortable my friend turned again to his figures, and silence reigned supreme. The fire in the grate burned noiselessly with a mysterious blue light, as if it could do more if it wished; the Dutch clock looked wise, and swung its pendulum with studied exactness, like one who is determined to do his precise duty and shun responsibility; the cat assumed an attitude of intelligent neutrality. Finally the spectre trained his pale eyes upon his host, pulled in a long breath and remarked: "Jake, I'm yur dead father. I come back to have a talk with ye 'bout the way things is agoin' on. I want to know 'f you think it's right notter recognise yur dead parent?" "It is a little rough on you, dear," replied the son without looking up, "but the fact is that [7 and 3 are 10, and 2 are 12, and 6 are 18] it is so long since you have been about [and 3 off are 15] that I had kind of forgotten, and [2 into 4 goes twice, and 7 into 6 you can't] you know how it is yourself. May I be permitted to again inquire the precise nature of your present business?" "Well, yes-if you wont talk anything but shop I s'pose I must come to the p'int. Isay! you don't keep any thing to drink 'bout yer, do ye-Jake?" "14 from 23 are 9-I'll get you something when we get done. Please explain how we can serve one another."[...]".

A poor brokendown drunkard returned to his dilapidated domicile early on New Year'smorn. The great bells of the churches were jarring the creamy moonlight which lay abovethe soggy undercrust of mud and snow. As he heard their joyous peals, announcing thebirth of a new year, his heart smote his old waistcoat like a remorseful sledge-hammer."Why," soliloquized he, "should not those bells also proclaim the advent of a newresolution? I have not made one for several weeks, and it's about time. I'll swear off."He did it, and at that moment a new light seemed to be shed upon his pathway; his wifecame out of the house with a tin lantern. He rushed frantically to meet her. She saw the newand holy purpose in his eye. She recognised it readily-she had seen it before. Theyembraced and wept. Then stretching the wreck of what had once been a manly form to itsfull length, he raised his eyes to heaven and one hand as near there as he could get it, andthere in the pale moonlight, with only his wondering wife, and the angels, and a cow or two, for witnesses, he swore he would from that moment abstain from all intoxicating liquorsuntil death should them part. Then looking down and tenderly smiling into the eyes of hiswife, he said: "Is it not well, dear one?" With a face beaming all over with a new happiness, she replied: "Indeed it is, John-let's take a drink." And they took one, she with sugar and he plain.The spot is still pointed out to the traveller. The Late Dowling, Senior.My friend, Jacob Dowling, Esq., had been spending the day very agreeably in hiscounting-room with some companions, and at night retired to the domestic circle to ravelout some intricate accounts. Seated at his parlour table he ordered his wife and childrenout of the room and addressed himself to business. While clambering wearily up a columnof figures he felt upon his cheek the touch of something that seemed to cling clammily tothe skin like the caress of a naked oyster. Thoughtfully setting down the result of hisaddition so far as he had proceeded with it, he turned about and looked up."I beg your pardon, sir," said he, "but you have not the advantage of my acquaintance.""Why, Jake," replied the apparition-whom I have thought it useless to describe-"don'tyou know m

The atrocities constituting this “cold collation” of diabolisms are taken mainly from various Californian journals. They are cast in the American language, and liberally enriched with unintelligibility. If they shall prove incomprehensible on this side of the Atlantic, the reader can pass to the other side at a moderately extortionate charge. In the pursuit of my design I think I have killed a good many people in one way and another; but the reader will please to observe that they were not people worth the trouble of leaving alive. Besides, I had the interests of my collaborator to consult. In writing, as in compiling, I have been ably assisted by my scholarly friend Mr. Satan; and to this worthy gentleman must be attributed most of the views herein set forth. While the plan of the work is partly my own, its spirit is wholly his; and this illustrates the ascendancy of the creative over the merely imitative mind. Palmam qui meruit ferat—I shall be content with the profit...FROM THE BOOKS.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Fiend's Delight (novella + short stories + poetry)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Fiend's Delight, a compilation of Bierce's articles; essays, stories, poems and reflection, was published in London in 1873 by John Camden Hotten under the pseudonym "Dod Grile". This was Bierce's first book when he lived and wrote in England from 1872 to 1875, contributing to Fun magazine. Ambrose Bierce (born June 24, 1842; assumed to have died sometime after December 26, 1913) was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist. He wrote the short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and compiled a satirical lexicon The Devil's Dictionary. His vehemence as a critic, his motto "Nothing matters", and the sardonic view of human nature that informed his work, all earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce". Despite his reputation as a searing critic, Bierce was known to encourage younger writers, including poet George Sterling and fiction writer W. C. Morrow. Bierce employed a distinctive style of writing, especially in his stories. His style often embraces an abrupt beginning, dark imagery, vague references to time, limited descriptions, impossible events and the theme of war.
