My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I devoured We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix in two sittings. It would have been one sitting, but a woman needs her sleep. I am not a die-hard metalhead, but I do appreciate metal and the outlet it provides. Hendrix's writing is so great that it probably wouldn't matter what musical genre he was writing about I would read that book. But if you are going to tell a horror story about fighting evil with music, metal seems a good choice. That Hendrix chose a woman to lead the battle makes me love the book even more. Bring a strong stomach because there is no skimping on gore here.
I look forward to the release of the companion album, Troglodyte, because you can't tell us a weapon against Black Iron Mountain is out there and not give it to us.
