Posted by Eugene Volokh: Another Short Story About Love Charms: Reader Michael Lorton pointed me to [1]The Chaser, by John Collier, which had apparently been made into a Twilight Zone episode. I liked it -- short, readable, ingenious, and cruel.
Also, this gives me another chance to mention my favorite short story about love charms, by one of my favorite short story writers, Rudyard Kipling: [2]The Bisara of Pooree. "[T]o work properly, the Bisara of Pooree must be stolen -- with bloodshed if possible, but, at any rate, stolen."
