The Bishop of Hell — Marjorie Bowen

The Bishop of Hell is a story about a nearly-clergyman turned bad.

The reader learns that Hector's excess, impiety and boldness terrified even those who were hardened in their own wicked ways. His father had, at one point placed Hector in the church, but the young man's wickedness soon saw him unfrocked and his friends from the clubs and gambling dens then nicknamed him The Bishop of Hell.
