Description:
Dead Brides contains the vampire cycle of five stories, written between 1835 and 1842, which in many ways forms the nucleus of Poe's prose work: Berenice, Morella, Ligeia, The Fall Of The House Of Usher, and The Oval Portrait. In these classic tales, Poe investigates the vampiric nature of human relationships, including love and lust both normal and incestuous, and develops his theme to observe the vampiric qualities inherent in the creative or artistic process.
Expand description
Vampirism, with its terrible energy exchanges and lesions, is ultimately Poe's analogy for a love that persists beyond the grave -- an all consuming passion that knows no peace until undead reconciliation is effected.
