Does anyone else remember Tales of the Unexpected? I have recently got into watching re-runs of these short tales and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them. They are stand-alone dramas adapted from Roald Dahl’s short stories in his books of the same name. Always with a, sometimes sinister, twist at the end. The great man himself introduced the first two series. What’s not to like! Ninety percent of my short stories are like this and I think they really engage the reader/watcher and can stick in the mind for sometime when the ending is clever enough. Give it a go in your writing if you haven’t tried it before. You can always get some inspiration from watching the Tales on YouTube.

I am a self-published writer of mixed genre short works, I have a fantasy novella out now, The Rue Stone is book 1 of 3 of The Dark Stranger series. I am also working on my first novel. This is set in the 13th century, in Lincoln, and is the story of Benedict, a young boy who arrives at Lincoln castle with a burning ambition to become the most famous minstrel of his age.
