Includes the story The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar now an ACADEMY AWARD(R)-winning short film from Wes Anderson on Netflix A collection of the best short stories from a writer with an ingenious imagination, a fascination with odd and ordinary detail, and a lust for its thorough exploitation (The New York Times Book Review).
If Stephen King could write with murderous concision, he might have come up with The Landlady, the story of a boarding house with an oddly talented proprietress and a small but permanent clientele. If Clive Barker had a sense of humor, he might have written Pig, a brutally funny look at cooks and vegetarianism. And a more bloodthirsty Jorge Luis Borges might have imagined the fanatical little gambler in Man From the South, who does his betting with a hammer, nails, and a butcher knife. But all these stories in this volume were written by Roald Dahl, whose genius for the horrific and grotesque is unparalleled and entirely his own.
