Bierce is it for me. Have you read the Complete Civil War Stories?

I liked the one about the soldier who met his father on the battlefield.

I've met one of Bierce's decendants- I used to work in the same building and I'd talk with him from time to time.

He was an incredible writer. He could write about hogs eating the wounded on the battlefield and make it beautiful.
