Tales of the Unexpected

Roald Dahl

This collection of short stories explores the darker side of human nature, with tales of wine connoisseurs taking sinister bets, garden sculptures becoming instruments of revenge, and philanderers getting caught in their own deceptions. With Roald Dahl's signature black humor, Tales of the Unexpected will tantalize, amuse, and occasionally terrify readers, leaving them with a new sense of what lies beneath the ordinary. Included in this collection are classic stories like "Lamb to Slaughter," "Neck," and "The Landlady."
