Prelude To A Scream - Episode 13
Episode 13 of Prelude To A Scream features "The Bogeyman Can" written by Mark Leslie and originally published in imelod (the litzine of horror & the bizarre) in January 1999.
This podcast contains the flash fiction story as well as Mark discussing the origin of the tale, which involved a short writing exercise he does in which he tales a set of song lyrics and strives to write a parody version of those lyrics ("Weird Al" style). When he completed the parody of "The Candy Man" made popular by Sammy Davis, Jr. he decided to figure out a context in which such a bizarre song called "The Bogeyman Can" might be used.
