ABOUT POE AND BIERCE
──────────────────────────────
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) invented the modern horror story and the detective tale that followed it. Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) sharpened that same dread into shorter, stranger, more savage tales a generation later. Together they are two of the writers who taught American horror how to build a room, close the door, and turn out the light.

PUBLIC DOMAIN
──────────────────────────────
All texts are more than a century old and are in the public domain in the United States: Poe's tales were first published in the 1840s, Bierce's in 1891-1893. The recordings are public domain too, dedicated as such by LibriVox and its volunteer narrators (librivox.org/pages/public-domain/).
