Amour Dure

In "A Phantom Lover," a tale from the British Library's Tales of the Weird collection by Vernon Lee, a Polish scholar recounts his eerie experience through diary entries. Central to the narrative is the enigmatic femme fatale, Medea, whose bewitching influence leads to the demise of five men, including her husbands. As the scholar delves deeper into her dark legacy, he finds himself ensnared by her haunting presence, even from beyond the grave.
