The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the first of two unsettling and sinister volumes.   'They are brutal, these stories, and yet you finish reading each one  with a smile, or maybe even a hollow laugh, certainly a shiver of  gratification, because the conclusion always seems so right'  Charlie  Higson, from his introduction.  Roald Dahl is one of the most  popular writers of the modern age, effortlessly writing for children and  adults alike. In this, the first of two volumes chronologically  collecting all his published adult short stories, we see how Dahl began  by using his experiences in the war to write fiction but quickly turned  to his powerful and dark imagination to pen some of the most unsettling  and disquieting tales ever written.  In 27 stories, written  between 1944 and 1953, we encounter such classic tales as 'Man from the  South', featuring a wager with appalling consequences; 'Lamb to the  Slaughter', in which a wife murders her husband yet has a novel idea for  throwing the police off the scent; and in 'The Sound Machine', the  horrific truth about plants is revealed.  Enter the sinister, twisted world of Roald Dahl: whether you're young or old, you'll never want to leave.  'Roald Dahl is one of the few writers I know whose work can accurately be described as addictive'   Irish Times   'The great magician'   Spectator   Look out for Volume Two, introduced by Anthony Horowitz   Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ,  James and the Giant Peach ,  Matilda ,  and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories  for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed  and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald  Dahl's  Twisted Tales  by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
