If you were a 90s kid, chances are you read horror stories by flashlight. You knew better than to trust scarecrows. You double-checked the closet. And you definitely didn’t go down to the basement alone.
But what happens when that childhood fear grows teeth?
Well, for the last few months, myself and award-winning author and podcaster, Daniel Willcocks, have been working hard to develop something that answers that question.
Enter: Twisted Tales — standalone horror stories for grownups who still remember what it felt like to be scared before bedtime.
We’re officially kicking off the nine-week countdown to launch, and each week we’ll be peeling back the curtain on what makes these bite-sized nightmares so addictive. Think nostalgic horror, but with blood, body counts, and brutal payoffs.
The first story drops in eight week times. It’s sharp. It’s fast. And it doesn’t care if you leave the light on.
Here’s what to expect from the Twisted Tales series:
- ⚰️ Short, bingeable horror books (100–150 pages)
- 🧠 Addictive plots with character-driven terror
- 🩸 Creature features, cursed towns, and final girls with baggage
- 👻 No sequels. No filler. Just original, grown-up scares
Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or just dipping your toes back in, these are the stories that hit hard, hit fast, and don’t stick around for a happy ending.
