Fantastic Fables. E-book. Formato Mobipocket. A great consideration for the prose poetry/ flash fiction dialogue. From 1898, these short, acerbic narratives blend with quirkiness and tomfoolery to create an interesting collection. Some, of course, are more interesting than others. Many single lines simply stand out on their own: ie:

"An Object was walking along the King's highway wrapped in meditation and with little else on, when he suddenly found himself at the gates of a strange city." - from "The Poet's Doom"

"A Broomstick which had long served a witch as a steed complained of the nature of its employment, which it thought degrading." - from "The Witch's Steed"

"A Distinguished Advocate of Republican Institutions was seen pickling his shins in the ocean." - from "His Fly-Speck Majesty"


Another excellent collection of Bierce's work.
