    Everything Spontaneous in the Land of Doll Parts 
    Read by Avery Sandoval and Tara Sandoval 
    Running time: 9 hours 45 Minutes 
    One morning, people simply started burning. 
    No warning. No mercy. They called it SHC, Spontaneous Human Combustion, and overnight, the world collapsed into fire, ash, and fear. Anyone could ignite. Everyone learned to watch each other closely. 
    The audiobook edition of Everything Spontaneous in the Land of Doll Parts delivers a haunting, intimate listening experience set in the scorched remnants of Colorado, where survival is fragile and connection is dangerous. 
    Rory lives with the guilt of her mother’s death, a weight that never cools. Dante carries the echo of her father’s final scream, a sound that follows her through every quiet moment. Both women have learned how to endure alone, until the end of the world brings them together. 
    What begins as survival becomes something far riskier. 
    In a landscape ruled by starvation, violence, and the constant threat of spontaneous combustion, love isn’t a comfort, it’s a liability. Every attachment creates something to lose. And yet, against reason and instinct, Rory and Dante choose each other anyway. 
    This audiobook is meant to be listened to closely, during long walks, late nights, and moments when silence feels heavier than sound. It’s a story about staying alive when the body can betray you at any moment, and about the quiet courage it takes to keep loving anyway. 
    Everything Spontaneous in the Land of Doll Parts is a sapphic post-apocalyptic romance infused with survival horror and emotional depth. Perfect for listeners who crave LGBTQ+ dystopian fiction where love forms in the ruins and refuses to go quietly. 
    When the world burns without warning, love may be the last thing you risk, and the only reason you do.

    A memorial anthology for fantasy master David Farland A good story can entertain us. A great story can transform us. Two iconic archetypes in fantasy and fairy tales are wizards and wolves, and both are known for their ability to transform. Wizards can work magic to change the rules of the world to fit their wants and needs. Wolves can transform from man to beast under the light of a full moon. Both can represent power and danger as well as inspire loyalty or fear. This collection of eighteen short stories celebrates a wide variety of both wizards and wolves—often in the same story—as well as peels back the layers of what it means to be transformed. You’ll read stories of people turning into wolves—or wolves turning into people—but you’ll also read stories of a wizard passing on his legacy before he dies, and a hockey game played to reclaim part of a stolen soul. You’ll find a twist on the familiar story of a young girl in a red cape, and a tale of a pinball machine that is more than it appears to be. From fantasy to horror, to science fiction to humor, these stories offer something for everyone. David Farland transformed lives, not only with his writing and imagination, but also with his mentoring of new writers. This anthology supports the scholarship fund of the Superstars Writing Seminars, which he co-founded. “By turns heartbreaking and humorous—but always magical—this anthology is a fitting tribute that’s sure to please Farland’s fans.”—Publishers Weekly Don’t miss the other anthologies that support the scholarship fund.
