I've got one for you. I read it in my last year challenge reads. I did Alfred Bester a disservice which I will remedy in the future, but look at the cover, come on, look at it! How could I not read that book for the year 1980?

Alfred Bester's

Golem 100 on wikipdeia
"Regina and her bee-ladies, bored members of the elite, while away the idle hours by playing at conjuring the Devil - a game which leads to horrifying consequences. Alfred Bester's other novels include "Tiger, Tiger", "Extro" and "The Demolished Man"."
Bee-ladies? I kid you not.
