Om den här boken

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.

A party of men are camped for the night in the Arizona desert, their fire burning low, when a stranger walks out of the darkness and sits down among them without a word of greeting.

He tells them a story about four prospectors who came into that country years before, and about what happened when the Apaches found them: a siege in a cave, ammunition running out, and a decision four men made together rather than be taken alive. He gives their names. He describes the place, not far from where the men are sitting. And then he tells them where the bodies still lie, and why nobody ever buried them.

One of Ambrose Bierce’s most quietly devastating tales, The Stranger is a perfectly built campfire ghost story from the master of American dark fiction, with a final line that rearranges everything that came before it.
