OverviewDark Moon Press brings you the classic The Devil's Dictionary a satirical reference book written by Ambrose Bierce, which earned him the epithets Bitter Bierce, the Devil's Lexicographer, and the Wickedest Man in San Francisco. The book offers reinterpretations of terms in the English language, lampooning cant and political doublespeak. It was originally published in 1906 as The Cynic's Word Book before being retitled in 1911. ""An enjoyable work, fun to read as well as thought-provoking....Just because the dictionary is 90 years old doesn't make it any less apropos for modern readers.""
