Norman Saylor on pienen uusienglantilaisen collegen sosiologian professori. Hän löytää sattumalta vaimonsa, Tamsyn, lipaston laatikosta hautausmaan multaa, hiuksia, kynnen kappaleita ja muita todisteita noituudesta. Tamsy tunnustaa miehelleen, että kuuluu collegen opettajien vaimojen muodostamaan noitapiiriin. Se yrittää mm. edistää miestensä menestystä akateemisilla urillaan. Norman saa vaimonsa vakuuteuksi siitä, että noituus on silkkaa taikauskoa. Noitapiirin muut jäsenet ovat kuitenkin eri mieltä ja pian koittaa noitien keskenäinen taistelu, joka huipentuu kaupungin hautausmaalla.

Professor Norman Saylor considered magic nothing more than superstition. Then he learned that his own wife was a practicing sorceress. But he still refuses to accept the truth...that in the secret occult warfare that governs our lives, magic is a matter of life and death. Filmed twice, as Weird Woman (1944) and Burn Witch Burn (1961), this tale of secret witchcraft on a modern college campus is as readable today as the day it was written. Fritz Leiber's classic story of terrorCONJURE WIFEmade into the American-International movieNorman Taylor thought it was absurd for hisbeautiful wife, Tansy, to believe in blackmagic. He made her throw her potions, charms and amulets into the fire. After all, hewas a college professor, a rational man whodidn't believe in superstition. Then, his troubles began ... phone calls inthe dead of night, a student who threatenedhim with a gun, and a hideous gargoyle-like creature who stalked him about the campus, one whom he alone could see. Slowly, an atmosphere of palpable evil encircledhim until the truth could no longer bedenied. There were witches all around him, conniving for his soul, lusting for his body ...and he was powerless to defend himself." Easily the most convincing and the most frightening of all modern horror stories"--Damon Knight

"The ancient Egyptians only buried people in their pyramids. We are living in ours." - Thibaut de Castries Serialised in 1977, The Pale Brown Thing is a shorter version of Fritz Leiber's World Fantasy Award-winning novel of the supernatural, Our Lady of Darkness. Leiber maintained that the two texts "should be regarded as the same story told at different times"; thus this volume reprints The Pale Brown Thing for the first time in nearly forty years, with an introduction by the author's friend, Californian poet Donald Sidney-Fryer. The novella stands as Leiber's vision of 1970s San Francisco: a city imbued with an eccentric vibe and nefarious entities, in which pulp writer Franz Westen uncovers an alternate portrait of the city's fin de siecle literary set-Ambrose Bierce, Jack London, Clark Ashton Smith-as well as the darker invocations of occultist Thibaut de Castries and a pale brown inhabitant of Corona Heights.
