Four all-new tales of crime and pun-ishment in the classic TALES FROM THE CRYPT style--only this time they all tie together in a twisted and nightmarish way known only to the Old Witch! The main event is "Hex and the City" by writer Stefan Petrucha and artist Mr. Exes. When Japek Holsworth III takes over his father's old business, he finds he's the boss of three sexy, stuck-up, materialistic, shallow, female employees. When the ladies find out that Japek has a "thing" for Wiccan women, they proceed to pose as practitioners of the black arts in order to strip Japek of his valuable gems and assets. These wicked witches perform their "fake" ceremony to summon the Great Horned God, and it actually works -- until the dastardly deity gives them each what they want, but far from the way they want it.

Quando la scialuppa della missione scientifica atterra sul pianeta dove vive Lant, il suo pilota (chiamiamolo Purple) non sospetta che i nativi lo scambieranno per uno stregone piovuto dal cielo, né che il locale sciamano tenterà di distruggere l'astronave dalla simbolica forma a uovo. Segue una piccola esplosione atomica e addio navetta: per sopravvivere, l'antropologo venuto da un altro mondo dovrà adattarsi a fare il mago presso una delle tribù, avendo come principale alleato il peloso Lant. Ma il suo obiettivo è un altro, tornare sul luogo dell'atterraggio e comunicare con l'astronave madre, in modo da poter essere salvato. Tra scienza e magia, anzi, ai confini di una scienza tanto avanzata da poter essere scambiata per stregoneria, torna il brillante romanzo scritto a quattro mani da Niven e Gerrold, veri "maghi" della moderna sf americana.
