About this listen
In this unsettling tale, Ambrose Bierce invites us to witness an inquest—one that begins as a routine matter and unravels into something far stranger. A man has died. The evidence is sparse. The testimony is contradictory. And the truth… well, it might be standing right there in the room, unseen.
Prepare for a story that taps on the thin walls of perception and asks whether the most terrifying things are the ones we simply cannot see.
Ambrose Bierce (1842–circa 1914) was an American master of the uncanny—sharp-tongued, mordantly funny, and unafraid to drag readers into the darker corners of the human mind. Known for The Devil’s Dictionary and a lifetime of blistering journalism, Bierce also produced some of the most enduring supernatural tales of the 19th century. The Damned Thing endures because it’s never satisfied with frightening us. It wants to unsettle our certainty about what’s real.
