Toward the end of the Vietnam era, in a snug little Rhode Island seacoast town, wonderful powers have descended upon Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie, bewitching divorcees with sudden access to all that is female, fecund, and mysterious.

Three women, dissatisfied with their lives and longing for something they only half imagined, conjured up a charming version of Asmodius who provides them with sexual excitement and satisfaction as well as freedom from responsibility, and then the intent of the great deceiver became apparent and joy turned to terror. How they solved their problem is what makes this story unique.
