Look out for the brand-new Southern Gothic horror from New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House and The Final Girl Support Group. Coming summer 2024.
À l'adolescence, la musique a sauvé Kris d'une vie misérable. Elle a monté un groupe de métal avec son ami Terry, puis a pris la route pour une décennie de concerts, d'ivresse, de narcotiques et de délires divers. La belle vie, en somme. Jusqu'au jour où la musique s'est arrêtée. Et où Kris est revenue dans son bled pourri pour travailler dans un hôtel tout aussi pourri. Avec des tonnes de tranquillisants pour endormir sa colère.
La bête en elle se réveille enfin le jour où elle apprend que Terry, qui a trahi le groupe pour une carrière solo triomphale, va refaire une série de concerts.
Et c'est une bête très, très en colère.
Le temps est en effet venu d'aller trouver Terry pour s'expliquer.
Pour lui montrer qu'il reste des choses, dans ce monde, qui ne sont pas à vendre.

Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring bookshelves, shattered Glans water goblets, and smashed Liripip wardrobes. Sales are down, security cameras reveal nothing, and store managers are panicking.
To unravel the mystery, three employees volunteer to work a nine-hour dusk-till-dawn shift. In the dead of the night, they’ll patrol the empty showroom floor, investigate strange sights and sounds, and encounter horrors that defy the imagination.
A traditional haunted house story in a thoroughly contemporary setting, Horrorstör comes packaged in the form of a glossy mail order catalog, complete with product illustrations, a home delivery order form, and a map of Orsk’s labyrinthine showroom. It’s “a treat for fans of The Evil Dead or Zombieland, complete with affordable solutions for better living.”--Kirkus Reviews.
From the
Every morning, Kris Pulaski wakes up in hell. In the 1990s she was lead guitarist of Dürt Würk, a heavy-metal band on the brink of breakout success until lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom, leaving his bandmates to rot in obscurity.
Now Kris works as night manager of a Best Western; shes tired, broke, and unhappy. Then one day everything changes--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 Dürt Würk and confront the man who ruined her life. Her journey will take her from the Pennsylvania rust belt to a celebrity rehab center to a satanic music festival. A furious power ballad about never giving up, 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.
