A Cambridge student rents a long-vacant home in order to study without distractions. Preparing for exams has never been so dangerous: Each night, an enormous rat materializes in a chair by the fireplace.

The story follows an unnamed narrator and his wife Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligant raven-haired woman. She recites ’The Conqueror Worm’ before she dies and suggests that life is sustainable only through willpower.
