Completely Unexpected Tales by Roald Dahl PDF



Take a pinch of unease. Stir in a large dollop of the macabre, add a generous helping of dark and stylish wit, garnish with the bizarre and what do you have? Roald Dahl at his brilliant, hypnotizing best, cooking up some of the most unusual stories ever told.



In these deliciously nasty stories an internationally acclaimed practitioner of the short narrative works his own brand of black magic, tantalizing, amusing, and sometimes terrifying readers into a new sense of what lurks beneath the ordinary.



Here are his Tales Of The Unexpected and More Tales Of The Unexpected, making this a superb volume of vengeance, surprise and dark delight.



It consists of 25 short stories (sixteen in 'Tales' and nine in 'More Tales'), which are humorous, dark, sinister, macabre and delightful. It's a dark and bitter souffle with a nasty sting at the centre.
