Candles for Elizabeth (Template:ISBN) is fantasist Caitlin R. Kiernan's first chapbook, released in 1998 by Meisha Merlin Publishing,[1] shortly before the release of Kiernan's debut novel, Silk. It includes an introduction by Poppy Z. Brite. The contents of this chapbook were later incorporated into Kiernan's first short-story collection, Tales of Pain and Wonder. The author provided afterwords for each story, discussing their inspiration. According to an interview conducted by Jessa Crispin, the title is a reference to the suicide of Kiernan's close friend, Elizabeth Tillman Aldridge, in 1995.[2] Kiernan's Alabaster, written in 2006, is dedicated to Aldridge as well.[3] These stories were later included in Kiernan's first short-fiction collection, Tales of Pain and Wonder (Gauntlet, 2000).
