Ligeia is a Gothic Horror Short Story written by Edgar Allan Poe, published in September 1838.The narrator begins the story talking about his beloved wife Ligeia, an unconventionally beautiful woman who impressed him with her beauty and knowledge of sciences and "forbidden" wisdom. However, their happiness is cut short when she falls ill, composes a poem called "The Conqueror Worm" and discusses the idea of how one only truly dies due to a weak will, then dies.Wracked by grief, he moves into an abbey in England. Later, he enters into a new marriage with Rowena Trevanion. However, she falls ills and dies days later. While keeping vigil during the night, he witnesses a shocking scene where Rowena comes back from the dead - only to have slowly transformed into the lady he loved first.The story has been adapted by Roger Corman into the 1964 film The Tomb of Ligeia, starring Vincent Price."These are the full, and the black, and the wild eyes - of the tropes - of the Lady Ligeia!"
