No Snakes in Hell
New Story: No Snakes in Hell
Frederick Lemon, because of a charming and manipulative personality gains control of a Pentecostal church in the remoteness of west Texas. He has a fascination with snakes and soon incorporates them into his sermons. Upon increasing his stronghold over his flock, Lemon sets about convincing them he is a Messiah figure. Then, establishing a cult, he siphons off all the women to establish a new Eden.
No Snakes in Hell, is a masterful short story from Robert E. Kearns in which he examines how a charismatic preacher with less than pure motives, can make his congregation believe almost anything.
