'Can Such Things Be?' is a thrillingly creepy collection of short stories from one of the 19th century's masters of horror. Sit yourself by a campfire or candlelight and enjoy these 24 eerie stories, told in Bierce's witty, clear prose, filled with ghosts, apparitions, doppelgängers, grave robbers, death omens and other strange, inexplicable occurrences. The story of 'The Damned Thing' has appeared in the tv show 'Masters of Horror', while 'Haïta the Shepherd' and 'An Inhabitant of Carcosa' have reverberated in the history of supernatural fiction from Robert W. Chambers' 'The King in Yellow' to HBO's 'True Detective' starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
