Interview with Mark Leslie Canadian author and Richard Spasoff.
Mark Leslie (born 1969) is a Canadian author of horror and speculative fiction.[1] He is the author of the short story collection One Hand Screaming (2004),[2] a collection of short stories and poetry, mostly in the horror genre, the horror novel I, Death, (2014)[3] the thriller Evasion (2014)[4] and the editor of the science fiction anthology North of Infinity II (2006)[5] and horror anthology Campus Chills (2009).[6] Leslie is also the author of Haunted Hamilton: The Ghosts of Dundurn Castle & Other Steeltown Shivers (2012), Spooky Sudbury: True Tales of the Eerie & Unexplained (2013)(co-authored with Jenny Jelen)[7][8][9] and Tomes of Terror: Haunted Bookstores and Libraries (2014)[10]
Leslie, whose full name is Mark Leslie Lefebvre, jokes that he decided to write under the name Mark Leslie because it would be easier for people to spell and pronounce. Because he has been known in the book industry as Mark Lefebvre (former President of the Canadian Booksellers Association[11] and Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Rakuten Kobo, Inc[12]) he released both his podcast and a series of books about writing, bookselling, and publishing, under his full name.[13][14]
Born and raised in Onaping Falls,[15] Leslie lived in Hamilton, Ontario [16] for twenty years, then moved to Waterloo, Ontario in January 2018.[17]
