Plot

In the shadow of a crumbling abbey, the reclusive and scholarly Verden Fell finds his world disrupted by an unexpected encounter with Lady Rowena, the spirited daughter of country lord Trevanion. Her striking resemblance to his late wife, Ligeia, a seductive woman with an uncanny association with a black cat and a wild fox, sparks a whirlwind romance. Succumbing to the throes of love, they wed, and together, they plan to leave the haunting ruins that house Ligeia's tomb. However, when Lady Rowena's fervently dedicated suitor, Christopher Gough, unveils a chilling revelation that Ligeia was never legally declared deceased, they face the shocking reality of their involuntarily bigamous union. The specter of Ligeia rises from the grave, overpowering Rowena during a hypnotic encounter and setting off a chain of peculiar events. As the memory of Ligeia consumes Fell, he retreats into his former solitude, leaving Christopher and his faithful manservant Kenrick to unearth the truth. The abbey, once a symbol of Fell's seclusion, transforms into a stage for a dramatic showdown, where the line between the living and the dead blurs. Haunted by the undying promise of his deceased wife, Fell is caught in a macabre dance between his past and present. The Tomb of Ligeia is a spine-chilling tale that explores love, obsession, and the unsettling power of the supernatural, culminating in an unexpected, spectacular finale that leaves no life untouched.
