Listen to an excerpt from I, Death by Mark Leslie
Peter’s story is told in three parts via 3 distinct points of view. The largest segment of the three parts is the first one where Peter, advised by his guidance counsellor, has taken to journaling about his list of anxieties. Peter ends up journaling on a public blog, slowly gaining a following of strangers from around the world who both connect with, attempt to support and comment on his online journal entries. Unbeknownst to Peter, one of the strangers following his blog is reading it and trying to figure out how to leverage Peter’s supernatural curse into something he can use for his own nefarious purposes.
