The economic style of writing has led horror writer Robert Weinberg to describe The Ghost Pirates as one of the finest examples of the tightly written novel ever published. In it, Hodgson never describes in any remarkable details the ghosts - if this is indeed what they are, since their true nature is left ambiguous - he merely reports on their gradual commandeering of the ship.

An Ideal Husband is an 1895 comedic stage play by Oscar Wilde which revolves around blackmail and political corruption, and touches on the themes of public and private honour.

After Earnest, it is his most popularly produced play.
