Twisted Tails is a competition specifically designed to satisfy our craving for stories of the ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ type. While we’re not necessarily looking for a devastating denouement, what we do hope for is to be surprised. It’s as simple as that. The surprise itself can be as gentle or as traumatic as you like – hopefully we won’t see it coming!

Winners for the Summer Competition have now been chosen and can be found on the Winners page along with links to their stories. Congratulations to all! We are now accepting entries for the Autumn Competition, with a deadline of 30th September 2010.
As usual, we are offering four cash prizes, with publication for those and the six runners-up.

We are endeavoring to keep this site as straightforward and informative as possible. Please use the contact page for any suggestions or comments you may have.
