Ambrose Bierce
This is a story from The Moonlit Road collection.
These five 19th-century ghost stories from both sides of the Atlantic provide some of the best chills in the genre. Ambrose Bierce is well-known, but "To Let" by B. M. Croker and "The Upper Berth" also provide moments to tingle the spine, as does "An Account of Some Strange Disturbances" by Le Fanu. This collection, which is further enhanced by suitably chilling music, was originally released under the title Classic Chilling Tales 3.

Editorial reviews
Jonathan Keeble’s spare, hypnotic performance entrances the listener from the opening lines of distinguished American satirist Ambrose Bierce’s existential horror yarn, written in 1893, in which aspiring writer William Harker recounts his terrifying encounter with an invisible creature who brutally slays his friend on a hunting expedition.
Though Bierce engages some heady topics, such as the limits of human sensory experience, he roots his tale firmly in the tradition of campfire horror stories, which, along with Keeble’s appropriately chilling delivery, will keep the listener riveted from start to finish.
