“The Damned Thing” by Ambrose Bierce (1893) | #MidnightInTheMacabre
Published 1 day, 1 hour ago
Description
A coroner's inquest convenes over a mutilated body in a lonely California cabin, where the only witness swears the thing that killed his friend was standing in plain sight the whole time. (Originally published in the magazine “Town Topics” on December 7th in 1893… a magazine, interestingly enough, not known for horror at all, but more for art, music, and society.)
