Author Bio:
I’m Elias Nyx — a pen name I use when writing stories that drift between the boundaries of time, myth, and memory.

I’m fascinated by the surreal, the speculative, and the questions we don’t ask out loud. Bazaar of Dreams is my first published collection — a cosmic blend of 18 short stories meant to stir wonder and leave behind echoes.

When I’m not writing, I love collecting odd objects, wandering quiet forests, and drinking too much tea.

If you love stories that bend the rules of reality, I hope this collection speaks to you.
