Auctioneer sells souls a couple of glass bottles to highest bidder

What a rip-off. Everyone knows that when you buy a soul, it comes with a contract.

Can you sell someone else's soul to the devil at the crossroads at midnight in exchange for outlandish blues-playing talent? It wouldn't seem right.

Bum-bum-bumblee, Bumblebee tuna!

/but done in one

My card pretty lady^

Paparazzi captured shots of the transaction... [new window]

They're not even her own "soul"? Damn, I wish I had thought of this idea. How can I get people to pay thousands of dollars for empty glass vials? Furthermore, if her claims were true (which they aren't), how does one establish ownership over a soul? Does that come with the house?

Stupid is as stupid does.

Damnit...I just couldn't find a box of mallomars in time.

Let's ride...

"Well, well...finishing something?"

Oooohhh. Too bad you're not a singer.

/+1 internets to you, good sir.

Awesome subby! My favorite PS3 game ever, my son calls it the hardest game you will ever love.

I'd have bought the souls, then gone back to the house where they'd been captured in order to let 'em out again.

Does not approve/

Also, Mephistopheles is a woman. I didn't realize it at first either.

Hades, I would sell my soul right now to the highest bidder!

Sinfest FTW.

You know, I killed that bastard 25 times today, and he still didn't drop a Stormshield!

That was my first Powers book.

I'm amazed at how he can have about 47 different plotlines, and have them all come together in the final chapter.

/still looking for The Anubis Gates
/after buying the soul, did he rape a boy in the dressing room?

Came for the Reaper reference, leaving happy. And I'm glad you did it, too. I don't accept failure... EVER.

/wishes that show would come back
//knows it's not
///close to selling his soul to Ray Wise to make it happen.

Still looking for Anubis Gates? It's in print. I don't think it ever went out of print. Several of Powers books that were out of print when I tracked them down have been re-released too (Stress of Her Regard, Drawing of the Dark, On Stranger Tides). Dinner at Deviant's Palace is still out of print, as are the two I haven't read, Epitaph in Rust and The Skies Discrowned.

Anyway... I'm hit or miss with Powers. I love Last Call. I thought Anubis Gates was good. Expiration Date was okay. I had a hard time getting through Earthquake Weather. I never could get all the way through Declare. Sorry, but that was just a real yawner. Three Days to Never was okay.
