The Collected Short Stories of Roald Dahl
By:Roald Dahl
Published on 1994 by
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) The only hardcover edition of Roald Dahl's stories for adults, the |Collected Stories| amply showcases his singular gifts as a fabulist and a born storyteller. Later known for his immortal children's books, including |Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, |and |The BFG, |Dahl||also had a genius for adult short fiction, which he wrote throughout his life. Whether fictionalizing his dramatic exploits as a Royal Air Force pilot during World War II or concocting the ingeniously plotted fables that were dramatized on television as |Tales of the Unexpected,| Dahl was brilliant at provoking in his readers the overwhelming desire to know what happens next--and at satisfying that desire in ways that feel both surprising and inevitable. Filled with devilish plot twists, his tales display a tantalizing blend of macabre humor and the absurdly grotesque. From |The Landlady,| about an unusual boardinghouse that features a small but very permanent clientele, to |Pig,| a brutally funny look at vegetarianism, to |Man from the South,| in which a fanatical gambler does his betting with hammer, nails, and a butcher's knife, Dahl's creations amuse and shock us in equal measure, gleefully reminding us of what might lurk beneath the surface of the ordinary.
