Summary "Conjure Wife" by Fritz Leiber is a novel written in the early 20th century, blending elements of fantasy and psychological horror. The story revolves around Norman Saylor, a professor of ethnology at Hempnell College, who discovers that his wife, Tansy, has been using witchcraft to protect their lives and careers. The narrative explores themes of superstition, the clash between science and magic, and the complexities of their marriage as Norman grapples with the implications of Tansy's secret practices. At the start of "Conjure Wife," we are introduced to a tense world where the women of the college community engage in whispered discussions about Tansy Saylor and her unconventional beliefs, perceived as a threat to the traditional norms of their society. As Norman unwittingly uncovers Tansy's hidden collection of magical items, he is drawn into an unsettling confrontation with her practices that challenge his rationalist views. The opening scenes establish an atmosphere of intrigue and tension, hinting at the supernatural forces at play as Norman navigates both his professional responsibilities and his complex relationship with Tansy amidst the backdrop of suspicion and fear surrounding the occult.
