What to expect
In this hard-rocking, spine-tingling supernatural thriller, the washed-up guitarist of a ’90s heavy metal band embarks on an epic road trip across America and deep into the web of a sinister conspiracy.
Grady Hendrix, horror writer and author of Paperbacks from Hell and My Best Friend’s Exorcism, is back with his most electrifying novel yet. In the 1990s, heavy metal band Dürt Würk was poised for breakout success—but then lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom as Koffin, leaving his fellow bandmates to rot in obscurity.
Two decades later, former guitarist Kris Pulaski works as the night manager of a Best Western—she’s tired, broke, and unhappy. Everything changes when a shocking act of violence turns her life upside down, and she begins to suspect that Terry sabotaged more than just the band.
Kris hits the road, hoping to reunite with the rest of her bandmates and confront the man who ruined her life. It’s a journey that will take her from the Pennsylvania rust belt to a celebrity rehab center to a music festival from hell. A furious power ballad about never giving up, even in the face of overwhelming odds, We Sold Our Souls is an epic journey into the heart of a conspiracy-crazed, pill-popping, paranoid country that seems to have lost its very soul … where only a lone girl with a guitar can save us all.
Critics Review
-
“A faithful power ballad to horror literature in all of its forms.”
Paste magazine -
“Mixes horror with pop culture.”
Bustle -
“A fast-paced ride, firmly rooted in the pulp-horror tradition.”
Booklist (starred review) -
“Horror and humor play off each other in a delicate dance.”
Nightmare Magazine -
“Narrator Carol Monda is a perfect fit for this story of heavy metal, revenge, and redemption. Monda’s voice is gravelly and whiskey tinged as she grinds out the feelings and frustrations of Kris Pulaski…This audio production is highly stylized, matching the novel’s quirky writing.”
AudioFile -
“Explores heavy metal, its fantasy allegories, and the horrors those allegories reveal…It addresses the inauthenticity and carefully crafted emotional landscape of ‘sellout’ artists, and the underbelly of a violent America…It’s rad.”
