Two decades later, former guitarist Kris Pulaski works as the night manager of a Best Western - she’s tired, broke, and unhappy. Every- thing changes when she discovers a shocking secret from her heavy metal past: Turns out that Terry’s meteoric rise to success may have come at the price of Kris’s very soul. This revelation prompts Kris to hit the road, 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 Satanic rehab center and finally to a Las Vegas music festival that’s darker than any Mordor Tolkien could imagine. 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 surveillance-mad, prescription-popping, paranoid country…where only a lone girl with a guitar can save us all. COVER GRADY HENDRIX is the Bram Stoker Award® NOT winning author of Horrorstör, My Best Friend’s Exor- FINAL cism, and Paperbacks from Hell. He lives in New York City.

To clear his name, Mike will have to navigate every corner of the con, from zombie obstacle courses and cosplay flash mobs to intrusive fans and obsessive col- lectors, in the process unraveling a dark secret behind one of the industry’s most legendary creators.

As the story opens, nine comedians of various acclaim are summoned to the island retreat of legendary Hollywood funnyman Dustin Walker. The group includes a former late-night TV host, a washed-up improv instructor, a ridiculously wealthy “blue collar” comic, and a past-her-prime Vegas icon. All nine arrive via boat to find that every building on the island is completely deserted. Marooned without cell phone service or wifi signals, they soon find themselves being murdered one by one. But who is doing the killing, and why? A darkly clever take on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None and other classics of the genre, Ten Dead Comedians is a marvel of literary ventriloquism, with hilarious comic monologues in the voice of every suspect. It’s also an ingeniously plotted puzzler with a twist you’ll never see coming! FRED VAN LENTE is the #1 New York Times best-selling writer of the comics Odd Is on Our Side, Archer & Armstrong, and Action Philosophers! He cow- rote the graphic novel Cowboys and Aliens, which was made into a film starring Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig. He is also the author of The Con Artist (Quirk, 2018).

The curtain is about to rise on a film like no other! But first, the real-life backstory:Giraffes on Horseback Salad was a Marx Brothers film written by modern art icon Salvador Dalí, who’d befriended Harpo. Rejected by MGM, the script was thought lost forever. But author Josh Frank found it, and with comedian Tim Heidecker and Spanish comics creator Manuela Pertega, he’s re-created the film as a graphic novel in all its gorgeous full-color, cinematic, surreal glory. In the story, a busi- nessman named Jimmy (played by Harpo) is drawn to the mysterious Surrealist Woman, whose very presence changes boring reality into Dalí-esque fantasy. With the help of Groucho and Chico, Jimmy seeks to join her fantastical world—but forces of normalcy threaten COVER to end their romance. Includes new Marx Brothers songs and antics, NOT FINAL plus the real-world story behind the historic collaboration.

    QUIRK AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT Grady Hendrix GRADY HENDRIX is a novelist and screenwriter based in New York City. His novels include Horrorstör, named one of the best books of 2014 by National Public Radio, and My Best Friend’s Exorcism, for which the Wall Street Journal dubbed him “a national treasure.” Paper- backs from Hell, his survey of outrageous horror novels of the 1970s and 80s, was called “pure, demented delight” by the New York Times Book Review.

    FICTION The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires A Novel By Grady Hendrix Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to kiss her good-bye in the morning, her kids are wrapped up in their own lives, and she’s always a step behind on thank-you notes and endless chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and suspenseful fiction. This predictable pattern is upended when Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor’s hand- some relative, James Harris, into her life. Sensitive and well- read, James makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in twenty years. But there’s something . off . and then Patricia’s senile mother-in-law insists she knew him back when she was a girl. When local children go missing, Patricia has reason to believe that James may be more Bundy than Beatnik. But once she and the book club members investigate further, the true monster emerges—and he’s far more terrifying than any serial killer they’ve ever read about. GRADY HENDRIX is a novelist and screen- writer based in New York City. He is the author of OVER Horrorstör, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, Paperbacks from Hell, 90,000 and We Sold Our Souls, which have all received critical SOLD praise from outlets like NPR, the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, the A.V.

What The Fest!? also boasts exciting pre and post-screening events, as well as a bevy of in-person talent. Opening night of What The Fest!? will feature the World Premiere of Larry Fessenden’s latest film DEPRAVED, his unique take on the classic Frankenstein story -- this time, set in contemporary Brooklyn. Preceding the film will be a ‘Frankenstein Origins’ video presentation, and Fessenden and cast will appear in-person for a post-screening Q&A. “We are absolutely thrilled to announce the line-up of What The Fest!? We hope the diversity in programming gives food for thought, excites everyone and we encourage you to take a closer look on some of the events designed for the films,” says Artistic Director, Maria Reinup.
