The goal for these pages is to show a picture of a book cover from every country and in every language that Dennis Wheatley was published in.
However, until that day, here is a sample of the few I have managed to obtain.
If you have pictures and details that I can include, please

The following covers and their details are taken directly either from Bob Rothwell’s collection or from photographs and information very generously provided by Iwan Morelius, Jan Alexandersson and Steve Whatley.
Iwan is better known to Wheatley fans as Iwan Hedman, the Swedish author of ‘Fyra Decennier med Dennis Wheatley’ (Four decades with Dennis Wheatley), DAST FÖRLAG AB, Strängnäs, Sweden, 1973, the only bibliography/biography ever published about Dennis Wheatley while he was living. Jan was responsible for the wonderful illustrations in the book. For an English translation of ‘Fyra Decennier . . .’, follow this link: Four Decades with Dennis Wheatley. |
