His literary contributions span various genres, including short stories, journalism, and poetry, with his works often exploring themes of death and the macabre. Bierce's most celebrated works include "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," a frequently anthologized story known for its twist ending, and "The Devil's Dictionary," a satirical lexicon that mocks societal norms and political correctness.
