A couple of my favorite short stories I've written have been called "twisted" when I shared them in workshops. Some of my favorite authors have also been called "twisted" at times, and though I have a vague idea of what this means (dark content, dark sense of humor) I'm not sure I have full understanding of what the term means. I'd like to write more twisted stories, but it's hard without really knowing what that means.
How do you interpret "twisted" as a description for a story? What would you say makes a story twisted?
