In den Warenkorb legenFirst Printing, following a hardcover edition published the same year by Twayne. Octavo (16.25cm); pictorial card wrappers; yellow edge-staining; [4],5-191,[1]pp. This copy bears an inscribed label mounted on the verso of the front wrapper: "Conjure Wife was my first novel / Fritz Leiber." Modest wear, tanning to text edges, with a faint ink mark at upper edge of textblock; Very Good. "A fine story developing the daring premise that the skeptical and scientific worldview is entirely a male product, while women have retained, both philosophically and practically, the magical worldview. A college professor is horrified to discover that his wife practices magic, but after he forces her to desist, they both become vulnerable to the witchcraft of the other campus wives. The first half is particularly brilliant, leading up to a marvelously chilling subclimax" (Barron, Horror Literature 3-125). Basis for three films Weird Woman (1944), Night of the Eagle (1962), and Witches' Brew (1980) and winner of a "Retro" Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2019. REGINALD 008820.
