Mark Leslie is a writer of "Twilight Zone" or "Black Mirror" style speculative fiction. He lives in Southwestern Ontario and is sometimes seen traveling to book events with his life-sized skeleton companion, Barnaby Bones.
His books include the "Canadian Werewolf" series, numerous horror story collections, and explorations of haunted locales.
When he is not writing, or reading, Mark can be found haunting bookstores, libraries or local craft beer establishments.
"Silent screams bounce around my head like an impending storm, brewing into a force that will escape in a wild dance of chaos and be lost forever if I don't stop to write them down."
For centuries, philosophers have pondered the Zen Buddhist koan: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" What, then, is the sound of one hand screaming?
