An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

by Ambrose Bierce Narrated by Craig Watkins

Overview

A man stands on Owl Creek Bridge with his hands tied, preparing to face death by hanging. Then the ground slips out from under him, the rope breaks, and he has a moment to reimagine his future. Praised for its experimental shifts in time and surprise ending, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” is not one to miss. It has been hailed by Kurt Vonnegut as “the greatest American short story.”   

Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2015 - AudioFile

Narrator Mark Hammer's clear and authoritative tone makes these gripping stories of the macabre even more engaging and terrifying. Hammer uses vocal gymnastics to turn the carefully crafted stories into mini-movies that play in the listener's mind. His rendition of the most famous story in the collection, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," is both chilling and heartbreaking. The production sounds as if Hammer were narrating from "the other side," making these tales even more appealing. R.O. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
