Graham Masterton - Hell Candidate (Pocket Books, 1980, 423 pages, this cover Corgi, 1981, 384 pages)  Cover found on the net. Thanks to the original scanner.
When businessman Hunter Peal decided to run for President of the USA, they said he didn’t have a chance in Hell … but they were wrong. Initially he seemed pleasant and moderate … but then everything started to change.
As his popularity grew, so did his ability to influence people, sending them weeping to their knees, and seeing sights which no cameras could capture. And what of his opponents and the strange ‘accidents’ which befel them? Indeed, Hunter Peal was not the man he once was … one of the denizens of Hell has made a pact with him, and on his inauguration, all Hell will be let loose. Literally. Text by A*a*n
After publishing his first horror novels Masterton choose a pseudonym for his next ones. The joke with this novel is tragically so obvious that Telos Publishing put it on the cover of their new edition in 2018. I like this on better.
