just read ;the monk and the hangman’s daughter’ - it’s written to be quite accessible - definitely want to read more from the author.

Both, yes! Call of the Wild and The Sea Wolf from London, anything at all from Bierce. Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge especially.

I second the ghost/weird stories by Bierce, his “Can Such Things Be?”

Jack London, White Fang or call of the Wild. Both good reads, mom read them to me when I was 7 and I read them in my twenties.

Bierce’s “Devil’s Dictionary” is a classic of scathing, cynical wit.

If you’re reading Bierce, I’d recommend starting with his ghost/weird stories as that is probably more to your tastes: amzn.to/w5XW01
