![]() ![]() Critics who have paid it attention have generally commented on its surprise and sudden ending. "The Boarded Window" is not a popular story that is, reviewers rarely discuss it and reference to it among Bierce scholars is almost nonexistent. ![]() In the second volume of this work, amongst the gripping Civil War tales which perhaps have brought him his greatest renown, Bierce chose to included the slight "weird tale" "The Boarded Window." Shortly before his disappearance, Bierce also took on the monumental task of organizing his body of work into the twelve-volume Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce. In both of these genres, Bierce explores his interest in bizarre forms of death and the horror of existence in a meaningless world. ![]() His literary reputation, however, rests primarily on his short stories of the Civil War and the supernatural. To contemporary audiences, Ambrose Bierce is known for his writings-journalism, essays, and short fictions-for his cynicism and his misanthropy, and for his famous disappearance into revolution- torn Mexico in 1913, an adventure from which he never returned. ![]()
