Weird Tales December 1938 – Demon Sin-Eater Menaces Blonde in Occult Ritual
A gaunt, taloned demon looms over a candlelit altar draped with a cloth bearing the words EARTH, WINTER, NIGHT, and DEATH, his clawed hand hovering inches from a terrified blonde woman recoiling in white. A hooded bird of prey crouches nearby as sinister shadows consume the scene. This is the world of possession and dual personality — a Gothic nightmare rendered in lurid oranges and deep shadow, illustrating G. G. Pendarves' occult thriller 'The Sin-Eater.'
A leering demon, a swooning blonde, and an altar spelling out DEATH — Weird Tales delivers possession, ritual terror, and a bird of prey for good measure. This cover SELLS itself!
