Jonathan M. Niv is an author and visual storyteller whose work moves through memory, silence, darkness, tenderness, and the quiet places where people search to be seen.
His books and visual pieces often begin with a small light inside a larger night, a forgotten voice, a lonely figure, a child looking upward, or a strange character carrying something fragile inside him.
At the center of his work is The Night Universe, a growing creative world of books, images, illustrated stories, and short cinematic pieces shaped by atmosphere, emotion, remembrance, and the hidden beauty of being different.
His works include:
• A Gift from the Night, a short companion guide to The Night Has Its Own Darkness.
A quiet entrance into the themes, atmosphere, and emotional language of the main work.
• The Night Has Its Own Darkness, the central literary work of the Night Universe.
A poetic chorus of forgotten and remembered women, told through intimate voices of memory, testimony, and presence. The book is also available as an audiobook edition.
• The Night is Alive, an illustrated atmospheric book presenting luminous images and visual moments from the world of the Night.
• Joe, a mysterious and tender illustrated story for teenagers and adults, about difference, kindness, and belonging. Through the story of a small newspaper boy with button eyes and a blue splash on his chest, the book speaks about feeling different, wanting to be seen, and discovering the quiet beauty of being yourself.
• The Night and the Little Girl, a gentle children’s picture book from the softer side of the Night Universe, where imagination, curiosity, and wonder guide a young girl through peaceful encounters beneath the night sky.
Together, these works form a growing creative world that moves between books, images, cinematic pieces, and quiet emotional storytelling.
Jonathan M. Niv’s books are available worldwide on Amazon in paperback, eBook, and audiobook formats.
