Unsoul'd

by Barry Lyga

Overview

"Like Nick Hornby writing an episode of Californication!" -- Sarah Maclean, New York Times bestselling author.

"Funny...interesting and complex... honest and doesn't shy away from the raw/uncomfortable truth" -- Maria V. Snyder, author of Poison Study

"Lyga's take on the devil is as clever, and unique, as Twain's or Lewis's." -- David Lubar, author of Extremities

If you love Amy Schumer, Judd Apatow, Kevin Smith, or stories that are so wrong they're right (but not really), then you've got to read UNSOUL'D!

"That day, I had a bagel for breakfast and sold my soul to the devil. In retrospect, the bagel was probably a mistake."

Randall Banner is thirty-five years old, a middling mid-list author who yearns for more of everything: More attention. More fame. More money. More fans.

Then, one quiet morning, he meets the devil while pounding away at his laptop at his usual coffee shop. Soon, a deal is made, a contract is signed, and Randall is on his way to fame and fortune unlike any he ever imagined.

What follows is a bawdy, hilarious, yet harrowing tale of one man, one devil, and a deal that could change the world.

UNSOUL'D is the first novel for adults from Barry Lyga, the critically acclaimed author of young adult novels such as the award-winning BOY TOY and the New York Times bestseller I HUNT KILLERS.

About the Author

Barry Lyga is a recovering comic book geek. According to Kirkus, he's also a "YA rebel-author." Somehow, the two just don't seem to go together to him.

When he was a kid, everyone told him that comic books were garbage and would rot his brain, but he had the last laugh. Raised on a steady diet of comics, he worked in the comic book industry for ten years, but now writes full-time because, well, wouldn't you?

The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy & Goth Girl is his first novel. Unsoul'd is his latest. There are a whole bunch in between, featuring everything from the aftermath of child abuse to pre-teens with superpowers to serial killers. He clearly does not know how to stick to one subject.
