Look at those teeth! Clearly an English devil. 😉

Care of goodreads: This is the only Jules de Grandin novel, and I can see why Quinn never wrote another.

“Okay, gang, half court basketball game, suits versus the robes!”

Satanic liturgical dance class? Pose problems.

Trying to figure out the confusing directional lighting on this cover hurts my brain.

Seabury Quinn was also a manufacturer of delicious barley sugars.

Figured it out. The cover is a composite of 5 separate scenes. Moon in the sky, ruined temple, go-go dancer, robes, suit.

Does the guy in the suit have webbed fingers?

Jazz Hands Poirot seems to be missing his keyboard.

The “bride” is either a somewhat masculine-looking woman or an alarmed crossdresser. Or, perhaps the devil finds transgender women attractive. Either way, she definitely looks *thrilled* at the seethrough-dress-over-white-bikini-with-fake-cow-horns outfit she’s been forced into.
Oh, and why’s it called “science fiction” on the front? From what I can see, this would be better classed as fantasy – the only SF article I see is the moon in back.

There is something strange going on with her anatomy from her terribly bruised knee on down. Something really off with those feet there.

Devil seems to be saying, “look at ‘er, isn’t she great, guys?”

I knew that devil looked familiar.

@B. Chiclitz: is that the guy Queen were singing about in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’?
Come to think of it, that explains the stance of the guy in the foreground: “Spare him his life and his proctology”

@Anna, Tat:
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye?
So you grab me and don’t recognize I’m a guy?
Ooh, baby…

“Oh no! I have stumbled upon the cult that worships Satanic Michael Caine!”

The cover text insists that this is “Science Fiction.” For some reason.
That publisher must’ve had some strange editorial policies:
“Mr. Dinsdale, Sir, how do we present this new title?”
“As Science Fiction!”
“But it’s about devil worshippers and occultism…”
“Like I said — Science Fiction!”
“And we’d like your take on how to market our next big summer release, ‘Michael Winner’s Best Soup Recipes’…”
“Science Fiction!”
“But it’s a cook book, Sir!”
“Haven’t you seen that Twilight Zone episode, ‘To Serve Man’? About a cook book? Science Fiction!”
“All right… and your wife called to remind you to buy theater tickets to the ‘Hamlet’ premiere this weekend…”
“Ah yes. Shakespeare — England’s best Science Fiction writer!”

@Anna T. and A.R.Yngve – I agree. It’s like when you’re lying and trying too hard to convince someone. “Science Fiction…No, really. Not kidding now! It is!!!”

@Anna T, A.R.Yngve and HappyBookworm- Maybe it’s about Space Devils?

The Devil’s bride science fiction
*tap tap tap* ‘I married an alien monster from heaven…by…Lucy Pherr.’ *tap tap tap* ‘Chapter One’ *tap tap tap* ‘In the far distant future, there was a little goblin named…um…Ovis Reddenbacher McNichol IV…’
