Spare Parts

Aaron Deck’s Spare Parts centers on St. Agnes Hospital, a facility described as old, outdated, and falling apart. The narrative follows Simon, a hospital porter approached by an anonymous doctor with an offer to earn extra money. This arrangement involves handling requests that weigh heavily on his conscience while the financial payoffs fail to balance out his growing doubts. Simultaneously, Alessia works as a physiotherapist attempting to build an independent life despite her past mistakes and overbearing parents. As the hospital prepares to move locations, she observes strange irregularities in the wards that place a target on her back. Both characters become entangled in a web where they do not know who or what is preying on the institution. They must determine how to avoid becoming victims as chaos allows something to slip between the cracks during the transition. The story draws on traditions of institutional horror and supernatural fiction, focusing on the psychological toll of unethical work and the dread of hidden dangers within medical settings. It suits readers who enjoy atmospheric tales of moral decay and unseen threats in confined spaces. Those seeking fast-paced action or clear resolutions may find the ambiguous nature of the antagonist less satisfying. The narrative relies on character perspectives to reveal the mystery, rather than providing explicit answers about the entity involved.
