I love a gritty novel with more twists and turns than a twisty-turny thing. But I'm also pretty impatient when it comes to getting to the pinnacle of a story, which is perhaps why I enjoyed volume one of Twisted Dark: a collection of short stories, each with no shortage of 'I-can't-put-it-down' moments.

Deep, dark and twisted – every story builds in a way that gives you a rich, character-building context; yet you're still left with no idea of what's to come in those final pages. And fortunately for impatient moi, you're not left wondering for long. Quite an art, if you ask me.
