From the Mouths of Snakes
My first short story was published in 2019 by HellBound Books for their anthology of religious horror stories entitled Blood & Blasphemy. In my story, we are introduced to a savage, backwoods cult leader named Jim Adiney whose ferocious jealousy leads to unfathomable bloodshed. I was inspired to write this folksy little yarn after reading the Bible and imagining what it would be like to run into someone who actually behaved and thought like the God of the Old Testament.
Unfortunately for all civilized society, this is not the last time we will be hearing of Old Jim . . .
