Black Beetles in Amber, originally published in 1892 and later included in The Collected Works of Ambrose Bierce, Volume V (1911), is a biting collection of satirical poetry.

This facsimile reprint of the rare 250-copy limited edition preserves his masterful use of language and scathing humor, making it an essential read for fans of literary satire and political commentary.
