This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature.

Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.

Miten taaperoikäinen lapsi on päätynyt yksin keskellä yötä Blackburgin kylään, jossa tapahtuu outoja? Miten kuusivuotias poika selviää yksin pimeässä metsässä, kun sotaleikki muuttuu liiankin todelliseksi? Onko armeijaan karanneen pojan mahdollista saada anteeksiantoa vastapuolta kannattavalta perheeltään? Pohjaton hauta ja muita groteskeja kauhunovelleja kokoaa yksiin kansiin Ambrose Biercen (1842-1914) vähemmän tunnettuja kauhunovelleja. Tarjolla on sysimustaa huumoria ja synkkää nihilismiä, ja novellien brutaalin armoton ihmiskuvaus viiltää syvältä nykylukijaakin. Bierce oli kauhukirjailija ja kitkerä satiirikko, joka suomi ennen kaikkea oman aikansa tekopyhyyttä sekä oikeusjärjestelmän, poliitikkojen ja armeijan korruptoituneisuutta. Hän oli psykologisen ja groteskin kauhun mestari. Tässä kokoelmassa kuuluvat myös Biercen vakavampi puoli ja sisällissodassa traumatisoituneen, ihmisyyteensä uskonsa menettäneen miehen ääni.

En av de stora amerikanska skräckmästarna»En av de stora amerikanska skräckförfattarna.« H. P. Lovecraft1913 red Ambrose Bierce, 71 år gammal, ut i Mexikos vildmark och försvann spårlöst. Efter sig lämnade han legenden om sin bitterhet och oförsonlighet, samt ett författarskap som än i dag, över 100 år senare, talar till oss med mäktig stämma. Med klassiker som »Halpin Fraysers död«, »En händelse på Owl Creek Bridge« - den mest berömda av hans noveller - »Chickamauga«, »Hundolja«, »Den fördömda varelsen« och »Moxons överman«, är han i dag ett av de mest framträdande namnen i den amerikanska novellkonstens historia. I denna utgåva samsas hans blodiga noveller om det amerikanska inbördeskriget med hans bitska och galghumoristiska satirer och nydanande och inflytelserika skräckberättelser: sammanlagt 35 noveller av mannen som H. P. Lovecraft kallade en av de stora amerikanska skräckförfattarna. I översättning och med ett förord av Arthur Isfelt. AMBROSE BIERCE [1842-ca. 1914] var en amerikansk författare. Han deltog på nordstaternas sida under inbördeskriget och arbetade därefter som journalist i San Francisco, London och Washington. Främst skrev han noveller, och inte minst betraktas han som en av det amerikanska 1800-talets stora författare inom skräckgenren. 1913 befann sig Ambrose Bierce i Mexiko där han blev involverad i revolutionen och där han sannolikt avled något år senare (exakt dödsår har inte kunnat fastställas). Halpin Fraysers död och andra noveller är framtagen i samarbete mellan Modernista och Hastur förlag.» Den främsta amerikanska skräckförfattaren mellan Poe & Lovecraft.« The New York Times

ABSURDITET: ett uttalande eller en åsikt som är klart oförenlig med ens egen uppfattning. BIBELN: vår religions heliga urkund, till skillnad från de falska och profana skrifter som alla andra trosläror grundar sig på. CYNIKER: en kanalje vars bristfälliga syn visar tingen sådana de är, inte så som de borde vara. Härav sedvänjan bland de gamla skyterna att sticka ut ögonen på cyniker för att förbättra deras syn. Ambrose Bierces satiriska verk Djävulens ordbok består av alternativa definitioner av vanliga ord och fungerar som humoristisk och bitande kommentar till människans dårskap, samhällets orättvisor och tillvarons tallösa irritationsmoment. Visst är han pessimist, en radikal sådan till och med, men i grunden är hans djävul en ljusbringare, en upplysningsperson. Bierce förespråkar klarsyn, inte svartsyn. Till Jonathan Swifts våldsamma misantropi lägger han en voltairesk dimension av konstruktiv kritik av den mänskliga dumheten, vilken balanserar vitriolen. (Ur översättarens efterord)Ambrose Bierce, amerikansk författare och journalist (1842–1914). Känd som ”bittre Bierce”. Kan beskrivas som Amerikas Jonathan Swift, eller som Alfred Jarry avant la lettre – alla tillhör det svarta skämtlynnets pionjärer inom litteraturen. En mer samtida parallell vore att kalla Bierce en E. M. Cioran med humor. Jonas Ellerström, svensk författare och översättare (1958–). Har tidigare översatt ett urval av Ambrose Bierces Fantastiska fabler (1995). Senast utgivna böcker är A som i Alice. En Lewis Carroll-encyklopedi (2021, med Isabella Nilsson) och diktsamlingen Nattradio (2024).
