The Parenticide Club by Ambrose Bierce audiobook. Genre: horror Step into a delightfully diabolical corner of late-19th-century America with Ambrose Bierce’s razor-sharp short story “The Parenticide Club,” now brought vividly to life in its new audiobook edition. Imagine a young couple, Tevis and Herrick, driven to desperation by stubborn parents blocking their marriage, stumbling across a clandestine society devoted to one dark commission: matricide and patricide in exchange for freedom and fortune. With every whispered meeting, every polite exchange of nods in a shadowy parlor, Bierce builds suspense so taut you’ll feel the vise of moral decision squeezing your own conscience. His characteristic dark humor dances on the edge of the absurd—this is not a tale for the faint of heart, but a sparkling exercise in irony, clever dialogue, and surreal twists that only Bierce can deliver. In the hands of a masterful narrator, each calculated pause, each sardonic aside snaps like a spring-loaded trap, drawing you deeper into a conspiracy that feels at once old-world and uncannily modern. Whether you relish the thrill of forbidden schemes or simply adore wit sharpened to a lethal point, this audiobook will carry you into the shadows and dare you to question just how far you’d go for love, money—or absolute freedom from parental interference. Tune in, and prepare to have your expectations upended by Bierce’s unforgettable blend of satire, suspense, and sheer narrative audacity.
