I am stuck on the last one. 47a
Most science fiction with coarse, slightly twisted cover is given a terrible time.
I have C-U-I-I-D
The only word I can think of is crucified but I just don't see how that fits with the clue. Any help appreciated so I can start to enjoy Christmas Day!
thanks

Most science fiction = cifi ie most of sci-fi

covered by slightly twisted coarse = crued ie crude slightly twisted

given a terrible time = crucified
