I couldn’t believe it; Twisted 50 Vol. 3 climbed to the number one spot in not one, not two, but three categories! As someone who once hesitated to even write horror, I now hold a physical copy in my hands—a book with my story inside. (Actually, I own three—the hardback, paperback, and Kindle versions, all of which are gorgeous!) Even more surreal? This spine-chilling collection is being gifted as Christmas presents for those who love the juxtaposition of Christmas cheer and horrific existential dread.
Get your posh frock out, your DJ or frankly anything you look deliciously demented wearing, and join us for the official book launch and awards for Twisted50 vol III.

Twisted50 vol 3… From Inkling to Holding The Hardback by Ben McCallum I don’t know where to start with how I feel about the book. It’s just been a flood of emotions since submitting my story, to receiving the email saying I’d been shortlisted, and then receiving my hardback copy on Saturday and it all

Well done to all the writers and people behind the scenes who’ve helped to put together the latest Twisted 50.
These books are a great incentive for procrastinating writers, or is that just me? to get our act together and sit down and write for a specific project.
Even for the writers who weren’t lucky enough to get into the finished book, it will still have been excellent practice and discipline to ‘push the envelope’ and stretch those writing muscles.
Congratulations to ALL the writers in Twisted50 vol 3… You are now a number one Amazon best seller in three categories… Our joint and co-ordinated efforts paid off, though for a while I was worried we hadn’t done it. I think Amazon stats are about six hours behind. Maybe even more. Anyway, here’s where I KNOW we go to number one and its possible we did in other categories too.

Because, apart from rekindling my twisted love affair with horror stories, taking part in Twisted50 was also hugely inspiring. The stories I read by other writers (while providing feedback) were all of a remarkable quality. So much so that I doubted whether either of my stories would be chosen for the book. And so, it’s extremely motivating to have my story appear alongside so many brilliant and terrifying tales. I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on the paperback edition of the book and read it from cover to cover. And then spend the next few weeks having nightmares.
