Fantasy and reality collide when an unnamed narrator believes his beloved wife, Ligeia, has risen from the dead.

_Ligeia_ was one of Edgar Allan Poe’s first published short stories, and spurred much debate as to the symbolism of Ligeia’s death and supposed resurrection.

### A pioneer of the short story genre  
Poe’s stories typically captured themes of the macabre and included elements of the mysterious. His better-known stories include _The Fall of the House of Usher_, _The Pit and the Pendulum_, _The Murders in the Rue Morgue_, _The Masque of the Red Death_ and _The Tell-Tale Heart_.
