Satan dictionary. Birs Ambrose

Ambrose Bears can be called the direct literary heir to Edgar Allan PO and the predecessor of Howard Lovecraft. The whipped and uncompromising articles brought him the glory of a brilliant publicist and the nickname of the merciless Birece (Bitter Bierce), and the “Satan Dictionary” was a molecan for quotes and was recognized as a classic of satires of the twentieth century.

Birsa experienced a special interest in the psychology of horror and metaphysical Riddles, so his stories are filled with mysterious situations with unpredictable and cheap interchanges, where the heroes die not from a shot, not from a knife, not from the teeth of the beast, but from fear.
