An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge

Sophie Shrimpton

At first I thought this would be a dreary Western. I was wrong. The descriptive talent of Bierce, and his ability to conjure strong feelings of anxiety and hope is brilliant. It really hits home for someone with death anxiety - particularly the groundless hope of escape. I didn’t pick up on the hints he left along the way, and want to read it again so that I fully appreciate it.
