The proprietor of the Night Bazaar will be visiting Pandemonium for one night only! Come join editor and author Lenore Hart and author and artist Naia Poyer for an immersive evening of reading, discussions (and signings!) of their recent anthology. The third in the Night Bazaar Collections of dark fantasy.

Come to the Night Bazaar! Where anything you may need can be found... For a price.

"The midnight market has operated throughout history in various locales, appearing in a city for one week only, never to return. This time the Bazaars proprietress, the enigmatic and unflappable Madame Vera, escorts the reader on an eerie, fantastical British tour in ten linked short stories by various authors. Some tales feature such recognizable luminaries as Sherlock Holmes, occultist Madam Blavatsky, and Queen Anne Boleyn. Several take place during the Bazaar proper, while others occur earlier or later, tied to its 1880 London appearance by a curse or spell or, by an object found, inherited, purchased, or stolen during the decades since, by the unsuspecting, foolish, or greedy (though seldom the completely innocent).

Together, these ten linked stories take readers on a fantastical journey into astonishment, dread, and dark delight. The Night Bazaar still holds everything youve read about but thought had passed away, or perhaps never existed at all. How wrong you were! But be warned: as usual, each object or service comes with a gift, a curse, or a haunting."
