Dear Librarian, The fastest growing religion in the world is Pentecostalism and SERPENT BOX delves into its most controversial variant – Holiness Snake-Handlers. SERPENT BOX is the story of Jacob Flint, a boy born inside the hollow of an infamous lynching tree who embarks upon a journey of hope and self-discovery in rural Appalachia. "In this beautifully written debut novel Carrella sweeps readers into a vividly rendered world of a family of Pentecostal preachers." Booklist "SERPENT BOX is an amazing first novel, one that brings to mind Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood and Harry Crews' The Gospel Singer. ." Ron Rash, One Foot in Eden "If atmosphere were everything in fiction, Vincent Louis Carrella's first novel might be proclaimed a masterpiece." The San Francisco Chronicle "The Flints' journey of faith, and their journey together as a family, is a story worth reading, and one you'll remember long after you finish this beautiful written novel." Omaha World Herald I would be honored if you were to add it to your stacks. Vincent Louis Carrella www.serpentbox.com
