Fall under the spell of these tales of black magic. Witches and warlocks curse, jinx, hex, possess, becharm, and bedevil their victims in these tales of sorcery and the supernatural. In Oscar Wilde's "The Fisherman and His Soul," a witch condemns a man's soul to wander loveless through foreign lands: Isaac Asimov's "The Up-to-Date Sorcerer" portrays an eccentric professor who invents a hormone solution that inspires love; and in Nathaniel Hawthrones's "Young Goodman Brown," a devil tricks a man into thinking his wife is a witch--though it may not be a trick.
This spooky collection includes works by such classic authors as Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G. Wells, W.B. Yeats, L. Frank Baum, and Nikolai Gogol, as well as contemporary writers such as Isaac Bashevis Singer, Ray Bradbury, Manly Wade Wellman, Daniel Pinkwater, Tanith Lee Robert Bloch and many others.

Magical Mayhem,
By A. C. Herrick (Nor. Cal.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Penguin Book of Witches and Warlocks: Tales of Black Magic, Old and New (Mass Market Paperback)
This book will keep you under its spell. I purchased it many years ago and recently I reread a couple of the stories which were even better than I remembered. The list of authors is impressive. It includes: Isaac Bashevis Singer, Manly Wade Wellman, Ray Russell, Robert Bloch, H.G. WElls, Isaac Asimov, L. Frank Baum, Edward D. Hoch, Fritz Leiber Jr. and others.
