The Devil Went Down to the Sunset Strip by Dayle A. Dermatis

The Devil Went Down to the Sunset Strip

By

Description

Angrrr Management: four talented guys, yes, and awfully pretty, all of them. And every last one of them was dumber than a post.

Had they never HEARD of Robert Johnson?

A hilarious short story about 80s hair metal and selling your soul to Satan. This is why USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith calls Dermatis “one of the best writers working today”!

“The Devil Went Down to the Sunset Strip” originally appeared in Retro Spec: Tales of Fantasy and Nostalgia (Raven Electrick Ink, 2010) and was republished in Devilish Deals and Perilous Pacts (Soul’s Road Press, 2017).
