With the inventive power of a Thomas Edison and the imagination of a Lewis Carroll . . . Roald Dahl is a wizard of comedy and the grotesque, an artist with a marvelously topsy-turvy sense of the ridiculous in life. -Cleveland Plain DealerIncluded in this collection are such notorious gems of the bizarre as The Second Machine, Lamb to the Slaughter, Neck, and The Landlady. Other stories explore: A wine connoisseur with an infallible palate and a sinister taste in wagers. A decrepit old man with a masterpiece tattooed on his back. A voracious adventuress, a gentle cuckold, and a garden sculpture that becomes an instrument of sadistic vengeance. Social climbers who climb a bit too quickly. Philanderers whose deceptions are a trifle too ornate. Impeccable servants whose bland masks slip for one vertiginous instant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49680469131504,"sku":"NEW0679729895","price":16.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/tales-of-the-unexpected-by-dahl-roald","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
