An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
Ambrose Bierce
A chilling tale of illusion and fate—brought vividly to life through immersive, dramatic narration.
During the turmoil of the American Civil War, Peyton Farquhar, a Southern planter, finds himself at the mercy of Union soldiers. As he stands on a railroad bridge with a noose around his neck, time fractures. What follows is a surreal escape through the Alabama woods—gripping, dreamlike, and disorienting.
In this powerful rendition of Ambrose Bierce’s most famous short story, Evan Schmitt delivers a compelling performance that heightens the suspense and emotion of every moment. With a tone that captures both the poetic language and the psychological tension of the piece, this audiobook immerses listeners in a world where reality itself is uncertain.
A must-listen for fans of classic literature, historical fiction, and twist endings that linger long after the final word.
