Bierce was considered a master of pure English by his contemporaries, and virtually everything that came from his pen was notable for its judicious wording and economy of style.
He wrote in a variety of literary genres.
In addition to his ghost and war stories, he also published several volumes of poetry.
His Fantastic Fables anticipated the ironic style of grotesquerie that became a more common genre in the 20th century.
