Still stinging from the White is for Witching episode in which a character was very disdainful of one of their favourite writers, Ligeia and Leraje exchange the nihilism of Ligotti for the Gothic…
Okay, so Lygia is a story about Lygia, who is described by like, he is unnamed, right? The narrator is unnamed.
He's a husband of Lygia, and he is describing her as this mysterious, extremely intelligent woman.
Absolutely extraordinarily beautiful woman whom he absolutely is obsessed with, worships in every single detail.
So that's like half of the story.
Yes.
Well, and the sad, sad thing is that she is ill.
She becomes ill and she dies very quickly.
And he is grieving.
It's really, really deep.
He is now on opium.
He is constantly intoxicated and high or whatever, low.
I don't know.
And he moves away from the house to like a different location, different country.
To England.
Yeah.
Somewhere there.
I think you mentioned a specific country, but does he?
He mentions her ancestors, which is still like a question, but yeah, that's how I thought it was.
Well, he moves to England and he gets married again to Lady Rowena, who is the absolute opposite of Lygia and is not great, but yeah, she dies too.
Yeah, yeah.
And the things then start happening while she is still like, she's fresh, freshly dead.
What a lovely sentence.
She's a
fresh corpse.
