Notes

  1. Contains: The Murders in the Rue Morgue; The Purloined Letter; The Tell-Tale Heart; The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar; The Pit and the Pendulum; A Tale of the Ragged Mountains; A Descent into the Maelström; The Black Cat; "Thou Art The Man"; Metzengerstein; and some poetry.↩

  2. A condensed version of The Power of Now. I read this for the worst possible reason: it was nearby and short.↩

  3. Skipped most of Appendix I.↩

  4. Available online. As this is effectively a suicide note, I have decided not to provide a direct link on Bear.↩

  5. Started near the end of 2021. Planned to finish in Jan 2022, but was intimidated by The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, which is a full novel (and frankly, a huge mess). Read: The Cask of Amontillado; The Fall of the House of Usher; The Masque of the Red Death; Ligeia; Ms. Found in a Bottle; The Premature Burial; William Wilson; Eleonara; Silence - A Fable; The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket; and some poetry.↩

  6. I read a physical copy. Also on Project Gutenberg.↩

  7. Updated 1999 edition.↩

  8. Project Gutenberg. First published in 1943 in the magazine Unknown Worlds.↩

  9. This is a collection of humourous word definitions that Bierce wrote throughout his career. It's not really something that should be read front-to-back (I did, and I don't recommend doing so).↩

  10. English: The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Translated to French by Victorine Ballon and Julienne Profichet.↩

  11. Part of the collection Six Novels of the Supernatural (Viking Portable Library, 1944). Also on Project Gutenberg.↩

  12. Part of the collection Six Novels of the Supernatural (Viking Portable Library, 1944). Can be found at Standard Ebooks.↩

  13. Humble Audiobook Bundle.↩

  14. First published in 1893. The Standard Ebooks edition combines content from multiple versions.↩

  15. Standard Ebooks. Includes: War No. 81-Q, Scanners Live in Vain, and The Game of Rat and Dragon.↩

  16. Expanded 1909 edition (first published in 1892).↩

  17. Available online.↩

  18. Translated from Spanish to English by John Rutherford.↩

  19. Translated from German to English by A. W. Wheen. Original title: Im Westen nichts Neues.↩

  20. Standard Ebooks.↩

  21. Anonymously translated from French to English. I wanted a modern English translation, but I ordered the wrong thing. Phooey.↩

  22. Contains: The Great God Pan, The White People, The Inmost Light, and The Shining Pyramid.↩
