Ambrose Bierce was an American journalist, poet, and writer. His book, The Devil’s Dictionary is a satirical book of ‘definitions’ that grew in size and popularity as a newspaper column until it was released as a collection.

What if this book was designed by a devil’, more mischievous than evil, as a means of representing the work of Ambrose and his ambition to provoke thought and conversation? This reimagining of classic American literature answers that question with a publication that embodies the wit of its author through its prose and now its design.
