An excellent story. As vibrant and original today as in 1943. ( )

Women are witches.

Literally. They are, however, good at hiding it from the male population.

Howeve,r one particular man discovers the truth, and this leads him into a spiral into the supernatural.

Plus penny-ante university office politics - if you aren't being helped out by magic, things may not go well for you in society it seems.

This imperils his wife, too, and he has to work out what to believe.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 044111749X, Paperback)

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.  And that unbeknownst to men, every woman knows it.

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.
