[Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm really glad that I came across this outstanding collection of tales. The author has a great style of her own, the prose is a bit melancholic but sharp to the point. Hard to define a favourite here. The stories are all great and have an aspect that makes them memorable. The first story 'Desperation' with its incredible twist lures you into the imaginative world of the author. Then follows gem after gem. Sometimes it's supernatural, sometimes not. 'Devil in the Woods' was another spine tingling highlicht. The atmosphere in the stories is extremely well drawn, there are many uncanny and eerie moments while reading. No fillers, just killers. I can absolutely recommend reading those twisted tales. You will read the tales in a single sitting. Brilliant collection!

Excellent tales of the macabre variety

Twisted definitely lived up to it's title. The short stories within are psychological thrillers that start off very light and then take a turn into a darker place. If you're a fan of mystery, this one is for you.

None of the stories were twisted or that dark. The stories are tamer than campfire tales told by the boy scouts. Very disappointed
