A man infatuated with ivy. A woman pining for lost love. In a Turkish square, ancient buildings lament a devastating explosion. An unlikely friendship struck up with a homeless person. A journey to a magical place that once visited can never be found again. The camaraderie between the patients in a cancer ward. A writer who has lost his muse. A tragedy that leads to dementia. 
 
These are just a few of seventy individual tales set in locations, straddling across continents, which portray war, love, hate, hope, greed, revenge, despair, humour, mystical happenings, fantasy, and so much more. Like ripples expanding on the surface of a pond to reach its banks, they converge in this anthology of flash fiction and short stories by Sebnem E. Sanders in her debut release.

Voices from the Old Bazaar: A Horror Anthology Series by TheIllustrrator

Step closer, into the heart of the Old Bazaar, where shadows cling to the walls like restless spirits. Every crack in the stone speaks of forgotten terror, every whisper a warning. The weight of time presses against you, as ancient storefronts bear witness to countless lives lost to madness. This is no ordinary marketplace. It thrives on the darkest corners of the human psyche-twisted desires, obsessions, and unspoken fears come alive here. Every step you take invites madness. Do you hear it? The creak of a door opening, or the beat of your own heart echoing in your chest? Time behaves differently in this place, bending reality and nightmare into one. The merchants don't peddle goods; they trade in your deepest fears. Trinkets and baubles promise fulfillment, but the true cost is hidden beneath, in the desires you thought long buried. In the Old Bazaar, nothing is as it seems. In a forgotten corner, an old woman offers a mirror that promises to reveal your deepest truth. But beware-it shows more than your reflection. It reveals the darkness you harbor within. Turn around. Do you see it? A figure in the shadows, watching. It may be a man, or something worse. Its eyes gleam with malice, knowing all you've hidden. The Old Bazaar is no dream-it is a place where nightmares are lived. You may leave, but will you truly escape? Or will the horrors you've awakened follow you, lingering long after the market has closed? Prepare yourself, traveler. The journey has just begun, and in this labyrinth, there's no telling how-or if-you'll find your way out.
