In
this episode of Paranormal Underground Radio: In The Dark, we talk with Mark Leslie, whose
writing has been described as “Twilight Zone” in nature. Mark is a writer,
editor, and bookseller who still cowers under the covers when he hears strange
noises in the night, worried that the monster under the bed might finally get
him. Despite his fear of the dark and the shadows, he travels around with a
life-sized skeleton named Barnaby.
Mark’s affinity for storytelling started at an early age, converting his
childhood fears into tales to be shared around the campfire, and hammered out
his first serious attempt at a “novel” on an Underwood typewriter when he was
13 years old. While that book will never see the light of day (for good
reason), he sold his first short story in 1992 and received honorable mention
in The Years Best Fantasy & Horror for it, and has since published the
short story collection One Hand Screaming (2004) and the horror novel I, Death
(2014), as well we edited the anthologies North Of Infinity II (2006), Campus Chills
(2009), and Tesseracts Sixteen (2014).

of the paranormal, since 2012, and they include Haunted Hamilton: The Ghosts of
