A professor discourages his wifeโs witchcraft to disastrous ends in this Hugo Awardโwinning novelโthat inspired three filmsโby the Grand Master of Fantasy.
Ethnology professor Norman Saylor is shocked to discover that his wife, Tansy, has been putting his research on โConjure Magicโ into practice. She only wants to protect him from the other spell-casting faculty wives who would stop at nothing to advance their husbandsโ careers. But Norman, as a man of science, demands she put an end to it. And when Tansyโs last charm is burned .ย .ย . Normanโs life starts falling apart.
ย
First, Norman has a disastrous run-in with a former protรฉgรฉ. Then his student secretary accuses him of seducing her. Heโs even passed over for a promotion that had been certain. Plus heโs become exceedingly accident prone: from shaving to carpet tacks to letter openers, hazards are suddenly everywhere. At his witโs end, he begins to worry that a dark presence is exploiting his fear of trucks. But the worst is yet to comeโwhen 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.
ย
