Oscar Wilde’s stories and essays appear in anthologies across a wide range of genres. His fairy tales show up in collections of the form’s best work, like Spells of Enchantment and The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales. His ghost fiction appears in horror anthologies. His novels and essays are represented in general literary collections.

These appearances reflect how broadly Wilde’s work has spread across literary culture. He wrote fairy tales, ghost stories, social comedy, Gothic horror, and literary criticism, and anthologists have claimed him for each category. The Penguin Book of Irish Fiction places him in the Irish literary tradition, while collections of Victorian supernatural fiction treat him as a master of the uncanny.
