An Occurrence at Owl Creek
An Occurrence at Owl Creek | Ambrose Bierce
6 posts | 29 read | 7 to read
An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge is a book of incredible power and suspense. All the fears of a young father come to light as his life swings in and out of reality. As a captured Southern loyalist, the character is bound by the neck and to be hung, when his life, all that is to be, flashes before him. In a split second he pictures his break from the noose, his race to freedom, and his reunion with his beloved family. Life, to this man, is nothing but the dream he holds of his freedom.

The short story is phenomenal; so is the French movie where no words are necessary. It is the only Twilight Zone episode not written/narrated by Rod Serling. Click here if you'd like to view it: https://vimeo.com/15147706

Another from the ‘Penguin 60s‘ collection - this one was a little bit weird!

Susanita We used to watch the movie every year in middle school/high school. Even when I knew what was coming, I always thought it would turn out different. 5y

Another great, short #serialreader finished up today. I read The Death of Halpin Frayser before and really enjoyed Bierce‘s style. This one was also very good. A bit morbid, but good.

This was interesting enough, but it felt a bit long winded, especially given the twist at the ending. I can see why it would be seen as a classic, but I didn't exactly fall in love.

Honestly, if not for @SerialReader forcing me to pace it, I could've finished the story in ten or so minutes. So descriptive and that ending, damn!

Anyone else use this app? I just found it and I dig it!
