If dark, twisted tales of fantasy, science fiction, and horror are what you’re craving, you’ve come to the right place.

The Spare Parts Pawnshop is open!

This debut collection from author S.H. Mansouri includes thirteen genre-bending short stories that explore the dark corners of the mind, the power of sacrifice, friendship, subjugation, and redemption.

Equal parts extraordinary, absurd, and heart-wrenching, Spare Parts offers stories for fans of speculative fiction, literature, and most everything in-between.

• A window washer stuck between feeding ancient pigeon gods or losing his daughter.
• A secluded village where ceaseless rain ages boys in dog years, leaving them with no choice but to murder the father they share.
• A food delivery driver who just might be feeding children infected with cannibalism.
• A sky that swallows friends on bikes and spits them back out into a grocery store dumpster.
• A worm-infested psychopath who’ll do anything to keep his family from falling apart.
• A gunslinger who finds solace in a fire-breathing bullfrog.

“Mesmerizing storytelling. Dark, violent, bloody, with plenty of wry humor, which is exactly what I look for in a collection. Mansouri effortlessly switches between horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and beyond. Guarantee he’ll take you places you haven’t been before, show you sights you’ve never imagined, and introduce you to some acquaintances whose stories will occupy space in your head long after you’ve put the book down. Mansouri is one to watch.”

—Brian Asman (Author of Nunchuck City and Man, Fuck This House)

"No one writes like Shawn Mansouri. Dark, sad, strange, and filled with empathy for the most beautiful losers among us. Spare Parts is a tour-de-force that bends genre in glorious, desperate ways. I loved it."

—Tod Goldberg (New York Times bestselling author of The Low Desert and Gangsterland)
