We Sold Our Souls

By: Grady Hendrix

Narrated by: Carol Monda

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 Durt Wurk 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.

Face meltingly good 🤘🏻🤘🏻

In the past week I have devoured two of Grady Hendrix’s books via audible, We Sold Our Souls and My Best Friend’s Exorcism. Both books have been captivating, I think in large part do to the expert voice casting for the narrator of each book. Grady plays with his words and imagery like an experienced guitar player plays and glides across a fret board, effortlessly and powerfully moving the story forward like the bullet that he equates he characters to. All that combined with the gritty raspy voice and versatile performance of Carol Monda this is a rock and roll roller coaster of a book that had me possessed from beginning to end!!

Troglodyte

Started a bit slow for me, and I almost stopped about 1/3 of the way through, but Kris is just so good. I don't know, maybe it's because I was in a progressive metal band, anyway, by the end of the book I had goosebumps, everything was tied up so well, and it genuinely brought a mist to my eyes. Grady Hendrix just has a way about him, and Carol Monda gave a stellar reading/performance. If you're a metal head, or even just enjoy music, or heck, enjoy stories about the resilience you can find in the face of hardship... it was, honestly kinda great. This is one of his books that seems to fall under the radar compared to his others, for whatever reason, and it's actually my favorite one at the moment.

Another Audio Book From Hell

My Halloween listen, author Hendrix always seems to bear hug the old paper backs he dug up at the second hand stores they frequent. Now it seems he might go to old record stores as well.

Great Book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought the narrator did a great job of voicing the characters and really tried to portray their personality well. I did not see a lot of the twists coming and there were times I had to stop what I was doing just to have my full attention on the book. This was my first Grady Hendrix book and I'm excited to read more.

The Music speaks

The prose captures you from the very beginning… while some of the story feels a bit borrowed the author has the ability to transport you through his flowing details and love of music that shines thru.

great book, especially if you like horror and heav

I feel like my title covered it but the reader also had a very enjoyable voice

Wow

This gives so much new meaning to things happening around the world now. It’s scary. Great story, great voice actor in how it’s told. When you listen to this book and compare to all the odd things happening around the word like school shootings or kidnappings this book makes you wonder…….Could this be what’s behind it?

Great Story Great Narrator

This was a great story. The narrator's voice suits this story and makes it perfect.

A masterpiece of feminism & social commentary

Grady Hendrix is brilliant. When it comes to non-mainstream fiction, horror, sci-fi & absurdist fiction, Grady Hendrix stands alone in his ability to make a story with a moral & not beat you over the head with it. Every story of his highlights the challenges & horrors of being a woman in a patriarchy. "We Sold Our Souls" is an exceptional story rooted in those feelings music expresses for us, the ones we can't put words to & the music that pushes us through when we don't think we can live another day "under the wheel."

non stop rock and roll

i didnt expect to love this book as much as i did. the author is incredibly detailed. he fullfills your imagination completely. its a totally immersive experience for the reader.
