One Hand Screaming: 20 Haunting Years

"A wonderfully weird gallop through nightmare country. Dark, often hilarious, twisted, and filled with magic. Loved every single story"

- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of NecroTek and The Dragon in Winter

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 stories 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 as long as 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 read by Mark Leslie, Eric Bryan Moore, Scott Overton, Aaron Fors, Chris Humphreys, and Shaun Smith 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.
