We Sold Our Souls
We Sold Our Souls is a 2018 horror novel by Grady Hendrix, published by Quirk Books in print, ebook, and audiobook formats on September 18, 2018. The story follows Kris, a down-on-her-luck former guitarist for the 90s metal band Dürt Würk, who now works at a Best Western. When their lead singer Terry Hunt leaves to pursue a solo career, Kris discovers Terry sold her soul to gain fame. She travels to Las Vegas to confront him and take back what was hers.
The book has received mostly positive reviews. SFX said it isn’t as flashy as Hendrix’s Horrorstör or as emotional as My Best Friend’s Exorcism, but it’s still a compelling read with a strong, music-loving heroine. Dread Central and Tor.com praised it as a smart, modern take on the devil and soul-stealing theme in music, and as a critique of contemporary society where people trade pieces of themselves for distractions, materialism, and power.
