Synopsis: "In 'Queen of the Night,' an attractive woman in her fifties divorces her husband and succumbs to the infatuation of a much younger, thoroughly useless young man. Within her she feels a power develop that she had not recognized before, and by the story's end—though nothing has been explained—the young man introduces her to his coven of night friends as Queen of the Night: Hecate, goddess of witches and the underworld, a female principle incarnate." (Peter Prescott)
