Curiously Twisted Tales
is a masterful collection of short stories from the devious imagination of horror writer P.S. Gifford. If you are not familiar with Gifford's previously published works, this book will serve as a deliciously wicked sampler of some of his most fiendish tales—both old and new.

From cutthroat garden competitions to honeymoons from hell to wanna-be writers who are willing to do almost anything to get published, each story delves into the dark side of humanity with wit, charm, and a delectable dose of depravity. Creepy stories, twisted endings, unearthly beasties lurking in the corners—these nerve-rattling narratives will keep you turning pages as you turn on more lights!

“The stories of P.S. Gifford are smart, inventive, and scary as hell. This is horror writing at its very best.”
