Short Story #162: The Secret of Macarger's Gulch by Ambrose Bierce
Title: The Secret of Macarger's Gulch
Author: Ambrose Bierce
Summary

Reflection
Though some elements of morbidity exist in the story, Bierce's humor is still present in the end when the protagonist is talking with his friend and upon hearing the details about the cabin he stayed in, he becomes clumsy, dropping his wine and peppering his coffee. It was a quick read but one that shows Bierce's skill of mixing humor and horror and suspense quite well.Short Story #162 out of 365
