Illustrated by Bob Ritter
"Plague of Pythons" by Frederik Pohl is a science fiction novel serialized in 1962 and published in 1965. In a world devastated by random "possessions," people commit horrific crimes while claiming no control over their actions.

As he's drawn into their world of power and temptation, Chandler must choose between joining the elite or destroying them.
