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.
