安布鲁斯•布尔斯（Ambrose Bierce，1842～1914？），美国小说家、评论家、诗人，以恐怖悬疑的鬼怪故事和具有神秘色彩的短篇小说名世。与爱伦•坡齐名，曾被誉为美国19世纪最好的短篇小说作者。他的长篇作品中，辛辣的讽世作品《魔鬼辞典》（1906）最为著名；他的短篇小说中，《鹰溪桥上》（1891）等最为知名。1913年10月26日，为朋友寄出最后一封信之后，71岁的布尔斯神秘失踪。这是美国文学史上最著名的失踪事件。

Ambrose Bierce's original and innovative stories differed dramatically from those of his 19th-century contemporaries. These 23 tales include his best and most characteristic short fiction: anti-war satires that underscore the barbarism of bloodshed, horror stories with keenly ironic edge, and sardonic "tall tales" of the Old West.
