A college professor of medieval literature gets drunk at a party
and conjures up a demon (actually a half-demon, half human
hybred). This demon, although she is 4,000 years old, looks like
a 16 year old coed if you ignore her hoofs, horns, and tail.
This book is actually a collection of 5 short stories that
appeared in "Fantastic" in 1976 and 1977 under the pseudonym
Michael F. X. Milhaus.
These stories are old style Science-Fiction. Willis Baxter, the
professor has a problem or two to solve in each story. He grows
as he solves his problems. Anathae's, the demon's, magic is
essential to the stories, but causes more problems than it
solves.
This is a good book and if you do not object to a bit of magic, I
recommend it highly.
