As the narrator kept vigil overnight, he noticed a brief return of color to Rowena's cheeks. She repeatedly showed signs of reviving, before relapsing into apparent death. As dawn breaks, and the narrator was sitting emotionally exhausted from the night's struggle, the shrouded body revived once more, standed  and walked into the middle of the room. When he touched the figure, its head bandages fell away to reveal masses of raven hair and dark eyes: Rowena transformed into Ligeia.

In an isolated town called Vondervotteimittiss (wonder-what-time-it-is), the punctilious inhabitants seem to be concerned with nothing but clocks and cabbage. This methodical, boring and quiet little borough is devastated by the arrival of a devilish figure playing a big fiddle who comes straight down from a hill, goes into the belltower, brutally attacks the belfry-man and rings thirteen o'clock, to the horror of the town's inhabitants.

Beyond horror, Poe also wrote satires and humor tales. For comic effect, he used irony and ludicrous extravagance, often in an attempt to liberate the reader from cultural conformity.

Poe wrote much of his work using themes aimed specifically at mass-market tastes. To that end, his fiction often included elements of popular pseudosciences, such as phrenology and physiognomy.
