A Son of the Gods and A Horseman in the Sky

by Ambrose Bierce

In A Son of the Gods, Bierce masterfully weaves a tale of supernatural encounters and philosophical musings. A young soldier, lost and alone in the midst of a Civil War battle, stumbles upon a mysterious stranger who possesses superhuman abilities. As their paths intertwine, the soldier is forced to confront profound questions about the nature of reality, the existence of gods, and the fragility of human existence. In A Horseman in the Sky, Bierce transports us to the American Civil War, where a young Federal officer witnesses a chilling apparition – a riderless horse galloping through the sky. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a web of deceit, betrayal, and the lengths to which men will go to achieve their goals, even in the face of death.
