Grim Classics Series #7.
GrimTales presents a 3D Web Book edition of Ambrose Bierce’s harrowing Civil War classic, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.
First published in 1890, this story has become one of the most celebrated works of American short fiction. Set during the Civil War, it follows the final moments of Peyton Farquhar, a civilian condemned to hang from a railroad bridge for sabotage. In the instant of his execution, Farquhar’s mind conjures an intense, dreamlike escape through the forests of Alabama—an escape that builds in desperate hope until Bierce delivers one of literature’s most unforgettable twists.
This 3D Web Book edition preserves the stark power of Bierce’s prose while transforming the story into a rare and immersive digital artifact. Hosted securely online, the edition requires no downloads, resists duplication, and is offered exclusively through GrimTales’ independent distribution in partnership with Miskatonic Books.
Adding to the experience, the 3D Web Book now includes an embedded audiobook, allowing readers to move seamlessly between text and narration. The atmospheric performance amplifies the story’s suspense, intensifying the rush of Farquhar’s flight and the inevitability of his fate. Together, the interactive design and integrated audio create a haunting fusion of literature and technology.
More than a reprint, this release is a reimagining—faithfully preserving a cornerstone of American Gothic fiction while presenting it in a collectible format designed for the modern age.
