The Bizarre Bazaar: Mirror Town is like a Twilight Episode or Tales From the Crypt for kids

Posted on by

No one ever pays attention to twelve-year-old Abel Azari: not his parents, not the cool kids at school, and certainly not his crush, Ginny Mendoza. To them, he’s always been practically invisible.

That all changes the day he discovers a peculiar mirror in his neighbor’s garage. But this isn’t any old mirror, as Abel finds out soon enough when he accidentally falls through it.

What waits for him on the other side is a world just like his, except something is…off. Suddenly, his busy parents are spending every minute with him, his classmates treat him like a king, and now the girl he’s been crushing on wants to hang out? It’s the life Abel’s always dreamed of; how could he possibly go back to the way things were before?

But not everything–or everyone–is as it seems. Mirror Town hides evil secrets, and Abel will have to unravel them fast before he ends up trapped there forever.

The Twilight Zone meets Goosebumps in The Bizarre Bazaar, a new graphic novel series from Daniel Nayeri

Posted on by

In the first installment of his new graphic novel series, multi-award-winning author Daniel Nayeri invites readers into the world of the Bizarre Bazaar, an alluring curiosities shop where two strange and unusual proprietors hawk even more strange and unusual wares—and tell cautionary tales to all who dare to shop there.

In the first twisted tale, The Bizarre Bazaar: Mirror Town, twelve-year-old Abel Azari thinks all of his problems are solved when he falls through a mysterious mirror and finds the world on the other side to have everything he has ever dreamed of: attentive parents, classmates who think he is cool, and the girls of his dreams pining after him. But not everything is as it seems, and unless Abel can uncover this alternate reality’s secrets, and fast, he might be trapped inside a world much darker than he expected… forever!

Brought to life by Liz Enright’s bold and enchanting illustrations, Mirror Town is a deft blend of mystery and thriller, perfect for fans of pulp comics, Goosebumps, and The Twilight Zone.

The Bizarre Bazaar: Mirror Town is on sale July 8, 2025.
