The Bride of the Grave (Fantasy and Horror Classics)
About this book
From the brilliant mind of Johann Ludwig Tieck, a cornerstone figure of German Romanticism and master of the Schauerroman (Gothic horror), comes a mesmerising and melancholic tale of doomed, eternal love.
The Bride of the Grave plunges the reader into a fevered world where the heart refuses to accept death. A young and sensitive man is consumed by grief after the sudden burial of his beloved. Driven to the brink by his melancholy and his profound belief in a love that transcends mortality, he returns to her lonely tomb. In a moment of intense psychological and supernatural fervor, his devotion is answered: his lost love returns to him, spectral and eternally devoted.
This atmospheric short story is a stunning example of classic Gothic fiction, exploring the obsessive border between passion and death, sanity and the spectral realm. It is essential reading for fans of dark fairy tales and the haunting romance of the German Romantics.
