Have Yourself a Spooky Little Christmas
Or how to publish another book in no time at all!
Was the Night Before Christmas…. well, maybe the month before.
The LSF team had just finished work on Santa’s Bedtime Book of Adventure Stories and Santa was busy reading them nightly for all the little girls and boys.
All was right with the world and all we had to do now was to relax and wait for Christmas Day.
‘Screw that,’ screamed Chris Jones from stage left…
Judge Dread…The nightmare of judging writing competitions by Emma Pullar
Judging by the title of this piece, you would be forgiven if you thought I was referring to this Judge Dredd.
Anyone who has seen the movies (2012 being my preference because I love the concept of a contained dystopian story inside a tower block, and a psycho female drug baron as the antagonist) will
know that Dredd is the law, and it’s his way or… die.
How does this relate to judging stories for the Twisted Ghosts of Christmas and Santa’s Bedtime Book of Adventure Stories anthologies? Were the team dreadful to work with because they were all
using Slo-Mo in order to cope with reading hundreds of submissions super fast? Were the editor and producer laying down the law like Dredd would?

Twisted 50 volume 1
'Twisted contains some of the best examples of horror fiction I’ve read in years. Most story collections or anthologies have a few duds. Twisted is the exception. The
