Description

A pawnshop on the edge of reality. A collection of stories that cross every line.

At ESP Pawn, nothing is what it seems. Some items whisper. Some scream. Others… simply change lives.

From psychological suspense to sci-fi, noir, dark comedy, and the paranormal—each item on the shelf has a story to tell. Step inside this strange shop where forgotten things hold unforgettable truths.

You’ll encounter time-warped gadgets, cursed coins, dusty VHS tapes that shouldn’t be watched, and more—each revealing a secret, a twist, or a reckoning.

If you love The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, or Tales from the Crypt, you’ll find something to savor here.

ESP Pawn Chronicles guarantees maximum entertainment, leaving you breathless and begging for more.

A pawnshop on the edge of reality. A collection of stories that cross every line.

This book reminds me of ""Twilight Zone""... a sci-fi anthology series from the 60s that became a franchise. Mike Diaz uses a pawn shop as a portal to suspense, supernatural drama, horror, & fantasy. He keeps his readers engaged with short stories that explore all manner of human failing & frailty, & manages to touch on subjects too difficult for most authors to address. Thought-provoking & always entertaining, this book is a refreshing departure from the 'seen one - seen them all' books of others. Clever... original... the kind of book that you'll return to time & time again.” Patrick

“ESP Pawn by Mike Diaz is a fun, entertaining, and, at times, spooky collection of short stories about items in a pawn shop. It takes the unique approach of the tales being from the perspectives of the pawned items. Some are everyday items, while others have historical significance. Besides all ""residing"" in the same pawn shop, Diaz gives us the owner and employees of the shop to add depth and a connection to the stories. The stories were suspenseful, entertaining, and often captivating. I enjoyed the book and look forward to more of Mike’s stories in his future books.” Rob
