Bierce became one of the most influential writers on the West Coast, working for Hearst's The San Francisco Examiner, starting in 1887 when he published his column called "The Prattle," a searing criticism that embroiled the newspaper in several controversies that Hearst had to smooth over.
Bierce's short stories are based on the terrible things he had seen during war time, particularly The Boarded Window, Killed at Resaca, and Chickamauga.
Along with war and ghost stories, Bierce published several volumes of poetry. Favoring the ironic style of the grotesque, Fantastic Fables was followed by his more famous work, drawn from occasional newspaper items, The Devil's Dictionary, a satirical book of definitions published in 1906. This work comprised the entire seventh volume of his twelve volume set, Collected Works, published in 1909.
比尔斯从1887年开始为赫斯特的旧金山考察报工作，成为西海岸最有影响力的作家之一。当时他发表了一篇名为《闲聊》的专栏文章，这篇尖锐的批评将该报卷入了几个争议，赫斯特不得不平息这些争议。比尔斯的短篇小说是基于他在战争时期看到的可怕的事情，特别是《木板窗》、《在 Resaca 被杀》和《奇克莫加》。除了战争和鬼故事，比尔斯还出版了几卷诗集。《神奇寓言》以其怪诞的讽刺风格而著称，其后是他更为著名的作品，取材于1906年出版的讽刺性定义书籍《魔鬼词典》。这部作品包括了他1909年出版的十二卷集《作品集》的整个第七卷。
