Title: Dead Brides
Description: Creation, 1999. Hardback. Pp: 96. 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.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 an undead reconciliation is effected.DEAD BRIDES is illustrated by the lithographs of the Symbolist Odilon Redon, who was compelled to reproduce the most insane images from his unconscious through the inspiration of Baudelaire, Huysmans, and other "dangerous" writers of his age.With a preface by Jeremy Reed.
