One Hand Screaming: 20 Haunting Years
Осы электрондық кітап туралы ақпарат
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?
Within these pages you will find . . . a bookstore that keeps more than dusty old tomes on its shelves . . . a phantom limb that can reach into the next world . . . the exquisite taste of a book-aged skull . . . a comic that colors people's lives with terror . . . graves unable to hold their wares . . . a collector of haunted artifacts who gets more than he bargains for . . . a deserted northern highway that brings back a man's worst childhood fears . . . bogeymen, anthropomorphic terrors, and more . . .
In 2004 Mark Leslie released his first collection of chilling fiction and disturbing poetry in a volume called One Hand Screaming. Twenty years later, this special anniversary edition that is more than twice the size of the original includes all the stories and poems from the first edition plus new ones published in the past twenty years along with all new pieces crafted specifically for this volume. This collection includes previously published award-nominees alongside original and never-before published works.
This haunting collection of tales are sure to bring a delicious shiver to any fan of The Twilight Zone, Amazing Stories, and Black Mirror. If, that is, you're interested in opening your imagination to the sound of those silent screams.

Mark Leslie is still afraid of the monster under his bed, and no amount of bright daylight reason is ever going to dispel those fears. But so long as he can draw upon those inner demons, he’ll likely always have something to write about.
Because of where he grew up, went to school, and fathered an awesome kid, he continues to consider Sudbury, Ottawa, and Hamilton “home” for different reasons.
Mark currently lives in Southern Ontario and when he is not writing he can most likely be found behind the keyboard, with his nose stuck in a book, enjoying and tracking craft beer, sharing musical earworms and dad jokes, and wandering, awestruck, through bookstores and libraries.
