I own a copy

Darkly sardonic, stunningly timely, the Devil's Dictionary reveals a wit and cynicism that applies as well to the modern world as it did more than 100 years ago. In a strange way, this brings the past to life - Bierce wrote as close to the American Civil war as we are to 9/11, and yet his writing is fresh, crushingly cutting and acerbic as any modern writer.
