Hello Twisted Friends!

Twisted Retreat began as a seed of an idea that formulated in 2018, right around when I launched Twisted's sister box - Unplugged Book Box (for a variety of book genres).

 But... I wasn't ready to it launch.

 After years of thinking on this idea, I knew I was ready in early 2022. The wheels were set in motion.

I knew I wanted Twisted Retreat to have beautiful, elegant horror merch that I'd be excited and proud to use in public or display in our homes.

The goal is to create a box full of gorgeously written horror and thriller books paired with beautiful but dark and creepy swag.
