Publisher Description
Despite his reputation as a searing critic, Bierce was known to encourage younger writers, including poet George Sterling and fiction writer W. C. Morrow. Bierce employed a distinctive style of writing, especially in his stories. His style often embraces an abrupt beginning, dark imagery, vague references to time, limited descriptions, impossible events and the theme of war.

The Damned Thing
I remember enjoying a comic book adaptation of Bierce's short story. It was published in Creepy Magazine back in the late 60's.
It raised the hairs on the back of my neck then. It has been fun re counting it in its true prosaic version.
