      The Graphic Classics series has released a second edition of its Ambrose Bierce volume with significant updates. Bierce was a Civil War veteran, short story writer, journalist, and satirist whose most famous work, The Devils Dictionary, is filled with humorous, sharp-tongued definitions and sardonic scraps of wisdom. The mandate of this edition is similar to others in the series (Edgar Allan Poe, 2006; Mark Twain, 2007): enlist both rookie and seasoned illustrators to adapt a selection of a classic authors short stories for both adults and teens. This edition succeeds on many levels, providing awesome illustrations as well as a fabulous introduction to the strange, satirical, and horrific writings of an almost forgotten American author. Ambrose Bierce stands out as one of the best titles in an already strong series, sure to appeal to readers looking for insight into a most unusual mind.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
