4.0

We Sold Our Souls is a slightly dystopian horror novel which follows Kris Pulaski, a guitarist for a heavy metal band called Dürt Würk. The band is on the verge of success when their singer, Terry Hunt, abandons them after signing away their rights to their music to him, and launches a successful solo career. Years later, Kris discovers that Terry may have sold his soul, and possibly the souls of his former bandmates, to achieve fame. Kris embarks on a cross-country journey to reunite Dürt Würk and confront Terry.  A pretty fast-moving novel, which tends to overfocus on reliving one's metal concert bones-wearing youth, but apart from that the story is pretty interesting and unique.
