"Fritz Leiber's writing style is spell-binding. I enjoyed the two novellas, but I liked Conjure Wife the best. Both are spooky, haunting tales with rich textures and likable, intriguing characters. You will be on the edge of your seat with suspense. Conjure Wife especially had me biting my nails and fretting for days! Our Lady of Darkness was a little more convoluted than it needed to be, I thought. I think it was a little cluttered, but still the climactic end was quite chilling."
"Wonderfully atmospheric and suggestive, these two novellas are among my favorite in a genre that is a peculiar blend of science fiction and horror. Leiber's ability to imply unsettling things makes both stories incredibly creepy. Of the two tales, I found Our Lady of Darkness to be the most sinister and effective. There's one passage concerning the 'scholar's mistress' in particular that was so nightmarish that it still bothers me to think about it. It wasn't disturbing in an overt monsters-under-the-bed or blood-and-gore way, but by creating something utterly fantastic that seemed almost palpably real.
If you're one of the people (like me) who still has trouble taking showers in motel rooms (you know... after having seen Psycho a few times over the years), then you'll understand why I don't like to fall asleep with books strewn around on the bed after you read Our Lady of Darkness."
