Ambrose Bierce

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce () var ein amerikansk forfattar og journalist. Han er mest kjend som forfattaren av The Devil's Dictionary, som ein glitrande novelleforfattar og som ein bitande kritikar med eit beiskt livssyn. Dødsåret hans er usikkert ettersom han forsvann sporlaust i Mexico etter å ha reist dit i 1913 under revolusjonen, men ein går som regel ut frå at han døydde i 1914.
