Twisted 50 volume 1
Twisted contains some of the best examples of horror fiction I’ve read in years. Most story collections or anthologies have a few duds. Twisted is the exception. The stories are all fantastic and hugely enjoyable.’

‘The Sugarloaf and the Red Shoes’ by Marie Gethins audiobook excerpt, read by Jenny Hoops
Having suffered through excruciating actor public readings of my stories in the past, I opened the audio file of The Sugarloaf and the Red Shoes experiencing more than a bit of dramatic tension. We are all familiar with ‘The Five Stages of Grief’, but I wonder if writers go through a similar emotional journey. While
‘The Cyclist’ by Richie Brown, audio clip read by Pearl Hewitt
From the moment I heard the discordant, harsh, and apt introductory music of this clip, I was hooked like an albatross on a tuna line. As though having the opportunity to have ‘The Cyclist’ published in a book was not (for me) a victory in itself, hearing my words narrated in such a professional and

The Band Wagon by Eileen Wilson
Psst! …You! Yes, you. It’s me, the small, vaguely fluffy one, dying of embarrassment in the corner. Anyway, come here, they’re busy and I’ll tell you why ‘Create 50’ is like a good friend. SUPPORT. If you are shy, like me, you can send a story to cyberspace and no one says; ‘Rejection’, ‘Not in
Feedback from the guests at the Twisted50 launch party and the Behind The Scenes video
So, I had a creepy night last night. I dragged my friend along with me to the Twisted 50 book launch party. We were met by a young lady at the entrance who warned us that due to a blown fuse, the corridor was dark and that we would need to use our phones to

Flat Hunting, by Gordon Slack, audiobook excerpt read by Claire Wyatt
Winning Twisted50 was my first writing success and so the opportunity to listen to the audio interpretation would be another new experience. Inevitably I have a clear image in my head of the characters in my story; particularly “Miss Smith” who is the main protagonist. But would she be as I imagine her? Would the
Welcome to the Audition Altar… Leo X. Robertson and his reaction to the reading by Anna Parker Naples
I’m sitting with my dad in his kitchen in Glasgow having just listened to the audiobook excerpt of my story. It was awesome! When I wrote “The Audition Altar” I was thinking of John Waters films, and Anna Parker Naples, the voice actor, nailed the lascivious and sometimes hyperbolic tone of the text. I didn’t expect Ms Naples to do
The Awesome Accessibility of Audio by Nick Yates
Not all of my friends are readers. I mean; they can read but they don’t read, at least not beyond a little social media or football reports in The Metro.And that is no judgment, a number of them are among the most intelligent people I know, they just don’t do books. Whether it’s due to
Voices in the Dark: the audio extract of Paper Cuts by Kim Rickcord
I suffered from insomnia as a child. I still do. When I was little, I had a huge selection of audiobooks. At bedtime, my mother would pick one, click it in the tape deck and flick the light out. I would cocoon myself in the blanket against the malevolent night, reach a careful finger out
