"A magazine that features pulp art and stories as well as irreverent takes on the world we live in."

"Twisted Tongue is looking for original, well-written stories with a twist, whether it is a twist in the tale or a twisted tale. We are open to all genres, sf/f/h elements preferred but will consider others. We want tales that are powerful, emotional, we want to be pulled off our seats into the tale. We are also open for poetry, book reviews, articles, interviews and artwork too."

Semi-professional magazine.

Initially reprinting "Two $2.00 Mystery Novels" as Two-Books Detective Magazine, the magazine changed slightly with the third issue to Two-Book Detective Magazine with a tagline of "Two Full-Length Mystery Novels", each of which was original. After a couple of issues this expanded to "Four Full-Length Mystery Novels" which made nonsense of the title, so that was changed a few issues later to New Detective Magazine.

This title is listed in the ADVENTURE HOUSE GUIDE TO THE PULPS as the title of the first issue of BIG-BOOK WESTERN, but that issue has been located and has the same name as all the other issues so it is unclear whether this is a separate title or a phantom listing.

Two Complete Detective Books was one of the precursors of book clubs in that it afforded the general public current, full-length, fiction in the mystery/detective field at a low price. Including two complete novels in each issue it ran for 76 issues from 1939 to 1953.
