    Like a Bat out of Hell !!!

    This book was a really fun one to read, the choice of using short stories was a fantastic idea keeping you in suspense one after the other. After finishing each horrific tale I quickly turned to the back of the book to read Mark Leslie's notes on the ideas which gave him the inspiration for the story. A top class book in which i hope is not the last of his.

From the Jacket

"Prepare to be haunted by a master of suspense"
- Julie E. Czerneda, author of SURVIVAL

Mark Leslie has a knack for creating chills. His fiction is like bare bones caressing the skin; creating a shiver here, a delicious northerly tickle there . . . take his book to bed with you and I guarantee you'll find more than shivers between the sheets; if you stretch your toes down far enough to the end of the bed, you never know what might grab back. Beware dark corners, empty alley ways, lonely streets, the quiet room . . . when Mark beckons for you to take his literary hand in yours. Yes, reach out and touch the bones . . . because you want to; you will be frightened, but you won't be disappointed.
- Horror author Carol Weekes

From the Author

One Hand Screaming explores my journey into the unknown and dealing with my very real fear of the dark. At a basic level, it documents the early evolution of a writer cursed to churn out morbid musings, spin dark tales that question the ideas of evil and of sanity. It is a collection of fiction and poetry, but also contains a series of story notes that are designed to give the reader the "story behind the story" for each of the pieces within. The goal was to create a collection that was chilling and intriguing while offering insights into the mind of someone who has been compelled to write macabre tales.

From the Critics

"In this unique collection of dark tales, Mark Leslie brings an energy and freshness to the challenging realm of short story telling which lovers of the form will savor forever. Bravo, Mark."
- Sean Costello, author of SANDMAN

"Mark Leslie is a writer with a bright, bright future. He can move from urban fantasy to magic realism, from hard science fiction to dark psychological horror with apparent ease. His stories are well written, skillfully told, and satisfyingly good to the last word."
- Edo van Belkom, author of BLOOD ROAD

"Prepare to be haunted by a master of suspense. Leslie paints his characters with compassion, then sends a chill down the spine. Highly recommended."
- Julie E. Czerneda, author of HIDDEN IN SIGHT

"Mark Leslie is an exciting new voice in Canadian fiction, and sure to be one of the SF stars of tomorrow. He's a wonderful writer, and a joy to read."
- Robert J. Sawyer, author of HOMINIDS

"Mark Leslie's horror is reminiscent of the old-time story tellers, those guys who cared about plot, and were pretty good at building a creepy tale. If there's a dark corner, Leslie will draw you to it, even against your will."
- Nancy Kilpatrick, author of THE POWER OF THE BLOOD series, ETERNAL CITY & THE GOTH BIBLE
