  Bukpa had a layer of sweat on his face that he hadn’t wiped for a long time. He didn’t want to get distracted. There was a vague pain in his chest. The moment he paid attention to it, it increased. It was fear. He didn’t think it would be this frightening. He had imagined it very differently. He thought he would go there with immense bravery in his heart and they would all attack the elders’ huts of the Jandunga tribe and return with immense pride back to their own tribe. What he felt in his heart was anything but bravery and he couldn’t see pride anywhere in the distance. All he could see was doom. Chaos, pain, and death. Step into the world of the Ancient Anarchist like never before with this immersive audiobook adaptation.

  Ligeia

  Edgar Allan Poe

  "Ligeia" is an early short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1838. The story follows an unnamed narrator and his wife Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligent raven-haired woman. She falls ill, composes "The Conqueror Worm", and quotes lines attributed to Joseph Glanvill (which suggest that life is sustainable only through willpower) shortly before dying.
  After her death, the narrator marries the Lady Rowena. Rowena becomes ill, and she dies as well. The distraught narrator stays with her body overnight and watches as Rowena slowly comes back from the dead – though she has transformed into Ligeia. The story may be the narrator's opium-induced hallucination, and there is debate whether the story was a satire. After the story's first publication in The American Museum, it was heavily revised and reprinted throughout Poe's life.
  The story is told by an unnamed narrator who describes the qualities of Ligeia: a beautiful, passionate and intellectual woman, raven-haired and dark-eyed. He thinks he remembers meeting her "in some large, old decaying city near the Rhine." He is unable to recall anything about the history of Ligeia, including her family's name, but remembers her beautiful appearance.
