Take a pinch of unease. Stir it into a large dollop of the macabre, add a génerous helping cit- dark and stylish wit, garnish with thg bizarre and what do you have?

Roald Dahl at his brilliant, hypnotizing best, cooking up some of the most unusual stories ever told. Here in one volume are Tales of the Unexpected and More Tales of the Unexpected, making this a superb compendium of vengeance, surprise and dark delight.
