Contrary to rumor and speculation, Ambrose Bierce was not in league with the devil. Bierce earned the nickname The Wickedest Man in San Francisco not by indulging in acts of depravity himself, but by recording the sins and follies of his fellow man.

Yet beneath its cynical humor, it remains an unflinchingly honest books about human nature.
