  Ligeia; Morella; The Oval Portrait are a short stories in the Gothic horror genre by 19th-century American author and critic Edgar Allan Poe. Poe's short story 'Ligeia' offers the account of an opium-addled narrator who believes that he has seen the resurrection of his beloved first wife, Ligeia, after the death of his second wife, Rowena. "Morella" by Edgar Allan Poe is about a woman who seemingly dies and gives birth to a daughter who looks just like her. Her husband loves the daughter, but she dies when he names her the same as her mother, implying that mother and daughter were the same person. Edgar Allan Poe's Gothic horror story "The Oval Portrait" is among his shortest narratives. As it recounts the story of the death of a painter's young wife,"The Oval Portrait" is actually the 1845 revision of a longer story, "Life in Death," which Poe wrote in 1842, shortly after his beloved young wife, Virginia, first fell ill with the tuberculosis that would kill her five years later. Poe was terrified at the prospect of losing Virginia, and the death of beautiful young women was a frequent topic in his work at this time. In his 1846 essay "The Philosophy of Composition," he even called this the most poetic of all subjects.

  Before his untimely death at the age of 36 of cirrhosis of the liver due to his excessive alcoholism and opium addiction, Stenbock managed to publish three slim volumes of poetry, much of which was fixated on suicide, as well as this volume of short stories, Studies of Death. This short collection of tales of death in all its various forms featuring occultism, vampires, jilted lovers and sea sprites among other things is seen as not only an early curiosity of occult and weird literature but also contains early queer themes as well, most notably in the stories "Hylas" and "The True Story of a Vampire".

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
