His work was characterised by hopelessness and decadence, and was largely influenced by the hardships he experienced in his own life. His most popular short story collection is "A Book of Bargains", and some of his the most famous stories are "The Burned House", "Will", and "When I Was Dead".

This book, first published in 1902, is a collection of four, slightly interconnected, stories. O'Sullivan's characters flit between the stories, all of which have a slightly moralistic purpose. However, O'Sullivan's macabre sense of humour ensures that the tales do not preach, and he puts his black wit to good use in this hard-to-find collection.

A prose collection of 25 short stories where each story is titled with a mononym. The book, was described by the author as a book of monologues - perhaps he meant that the stories were not so much speeches of entertainment but one-sided views with no argument or questioning given by someone who is, best to say, not under-confident in their views.
