Thou Shalt Not Spill
Stalked by the Succubus
By Adeline Alchemy
“Fill us overflowing, O Father! Penetrate our spirits!”
Succubus Tara thinks somebody ought to answer those fervent prayers. The devout have so much to give, after all—repressed desire bottled up and fermented for her pleasure.
Particularly irresistible is evangelical pastor Joseph, who claims to be a beacon of purity but secretly craves the shame and humiliation he preaches.
With the help of her lover Dani, Tara is happy to indulge Joseph’s desire for seduction, sin, and sacrilege–with a holy twist. The good father has ever been generous to pour out his blessings on his faithful, after all. Tara’s quick wit keeps pace with Joseph’s rationalizations, encouraging him to open his mind–and orifices.
But if Joseph figures out that his new epiphanies aren’t heaven-sent, he needs only to perform a simple exorcism to send Tara tumbling back to Hell.
THOU SHALT NOT SPILL: STALKED BY THE SUCCUBUS is a psycho-sexual horror comedy novel (70k words) that features gleeful sacrilege, violent sapphic love, and deviant desire. Which is more unsettling? A succubus’s seduction? Or the lengths a ‘godly’ man will go to in rationalizing his repressions?

* Evangelical Christianity is a cross-denominational Protestant movement that focuses on “evangelizing”—that is, converting others to the same kind of Christianity. To convert someone, you must in essence convince them of how horrible and worthless they are, and how empty and hollow their life will be “without God.” It is not a “live and let live” religion. It is a caustic cultural force that has driven much of the current attacks on autonomy and rights for marginalized people, beginning with protesting integration at the time of the Civil Rights Act.
If you’re curious to learn more about the documented history of this cultural movement, the author recommends Wild Faith: How the Christian Right is Taking Over America by Talia Lavin, published via Legacy Lit, first edition October 2024.
