Fics like Snake Oil

As the demon spoke, Wade felt it slither out of the fire-blackened pit within him where it lived. The hole that was singed with fraud and corruption, rotting with old anger and loss, putrid with self-loathing. The dead pool of a place that the Malebranche had found, recognized as home, and crawled into, all those years ago. It’s the roaring 20s, but in the small upstate New York hamlet of Middle Grove it sounds more like a snore. Peter Parker grew up in the Methodist church there, raised to follow his uncle and grandfather into the ministry. Preaching the word to a restless flock and trying to write for the local newspaper, Peter has little time left to himself and his own ambitions. Then a traveling snake-oil salesman rolls into town. This smooth-talking man with the scars covering his body seems to actually be helping people, somehow. Is it the sweet soda water he's hocking as medicine? Or is something deeper going on, something that defies both the religion Peter grew up in and the science he's adopted? Mr. Wilson’s sideways glances and joking innuendos are infuriating. And captivating. Peter needs to learn his secrets, but the journey to knowledge will take him down a dark path.
