Publisher's Note
Adapted and illustrated by Gahan Wilson, The Devil's Dictionary is a hilarious satire from one of the most brilliant and incisive writers of all time--Ambrose Bierce. Gahan Wilson's work appears regularly in The New Yorker and Playboy; he illustrated the Classics Illustrated version of Poe's The Raven and Other Stories.

Industry Reviews
"[A] unique dictionary....[A] scathing lexicon..."
Coetzee

"Little escaped Bierce's razor-sharp pen, which probably accounts for the books remaining in print continuously since its publication in 1911."
Bloomsbury Review - Lori D. Kranz
