Diplomacy by other means may, at times, sound heroic. A fight for principles and ideals carried out by young men armed to the teeth and directed by older men in pursuit of their own version of glory for themselves and their Nations. Right will triumph over wrong. But war can be an illusion, stirred up by schemers and opportunists to take something from other nations that may or may not be right. As blood and limb are sacrificed the true cost is seen but often set to one side as the dispute becomes embedded in emotions and reason falls away.

The American literary tradition has, in a far shorter span of time than others throughout history, achieved a glowing and glittering reputation. From its transatlantic roots it has absorbed the sons and daughters of other cultures, other lands and made them part of her own. Within this melting pot of styles, genres and wordplay one fact stands out: In the American short story, Literary tradition has a strong, vibrant and almost inclusive history, if you know where to look.

In The Middle Toe of the Right Foot, Ambrose Bierce weaves a chilling and unsettling tale where the ordinary becomes terrifyingly abnormal. The story explores the curious intersection of fate and superstition, as a simple injury leads to an unnerving series of events. With his signature blend of dark humor and gothic sensibility, Bierce crafts a narrative that challenges the reader's understanding of reality, turning the most mundane of circumstances into a source of dread.

Chickamauga is Ambrose Bierce at his most merciless—and most poetic. A young, deaf boy, playing war with a wooden sword, wanders into the real aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. What begins as childlike adventure slowly unfolds into a grotesque, nightmarish vision of human destruction. With chilling detachment and uncanny beauty, Bierce paints a surreal and horrifying picture of innocence lost in the fog of war.

The Death of Halpin Frayser is a Gothic fever dream wrapped in mist and mystery. Set between California's redwoods and the haunted hills of Tennessee, Ambrose Bierce's macabre tale follows a young poet who awakens from a nightmare only to find reality far more terrifying. A wandering spirit, a cryptic mother, a whispered name in the dark—Bierce unravels the border between dream and death with chilling precision. This story is not merely horror—it is a meditation on madness, fate, and the eerie echoes between the living and the dead.

In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. The capture of love in this life is a very special happening, it may only strike us once, and for some perhaps never. But what if those on the ‘other side’ have designs on us? What if their desire is just so strong that we can’t resist? Can true love survive?
