A professor discourages his wife's witchcraft to disastrous ends in this Hugo Award-winning novel-that inspired three films-by the Grand Master of Fantasy.
Ethnology professor Norman Saylor is shocked to discover that his wife, Tansy, has been putting his research on "Conjure Magic" into practice. She only wants to protect him from the other spell-casting faculty wives who would stop at nothing to advance their husbands' careers. But Norman, as a man of science, demands she put an end to it. And when Tansy's last charm is burned ... Norman's life starts falling apart.
First, Norman has a disastrous run-in with a former protégé. Then his student secretary accuses him of seducing her. He's even passed over for a promotion that had been certain. Plus he's become exceedingly accident prone: from shaving to carpet tacks to letter openers, hazards are suddenly everywhere. At his wit's end, he begins to worry that a dark presence is exploiting his fear of trucks. But the worst is yet to come-when Tansy takes his curse upon herself. Now, in order to save his wife, Norman must overcome his disbelief and embrace the dark magic he disdains.
Winner of the 1944 Retrospective Hugo Award,
Conjure Wife is widely celebrated as a modern classic of horror-fantasy and has been adapted for film three times:
Burn, Witch Burn(1962),
Weird Woman(1944), and
Witch's Brew(1980).
