| "I'll String Along" is an adaptation of Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." |
|
| Let's be honest, and instead of "adaptation" let's call it a "lift." (I AM being polite...) |
|
| I enjoyed the stories and artwork. They did a very good job relating the classic story Occurrence at Owl Creek. I also really liked the cover. Thank you for the post. |
