Samenvatting:

A relentless, devil-deal horror thriller about immortal souls, from the award-winning author of the acclaimed novel Poe.

When marketing executive Fiona Dunn walks into a bar feeling defeated, she chalks a charming stranger’s claim of being the Devil up to a drunken pickup line. But a few drinks in, he offers her a wish in exchange for her immortal soul—and a mysterious “favor” to be called in later—Fiona takes the bait.

Bad idea. Now Fiona’s part of a hidden circle of “dead souls” whose reckless bargains with the devil have bound them to unspeakable acts. Each carries a business-card contract, and each lives in dread of that blank “Favor” finally being called in in.

As bodies start piling up, and favors are called in one by one, Fiona realizes that the true horror is not the deal—it’s the terrifying, inevitable price. Racing the Devil’s deadline, she must outwit the master of Hell himself…or lose more than her soul.

Dark, gripping and twist-filled, Dead Souls blends supernatural suspense, occult horror and Faustian dread in a high-stakes thriller you won’t be able to put down.
