Someone Like You
These eighteen tales of the macabre show Dahl?s dark brilliance as a short-story writer. They are wicked (as an old man attracts the attentions of those more interested in his skin than his wellbeing), shocking (as distasteful bets are made ? a daughter?s hand on the identity of a glass of claret, a finger risked for a Cadillac) and blackly humorous (as a cuckolded husband receives a chance to take his revenge out on his wife?s neck). Someone Like You is as devilishly ingenious and suspenseful as writing gets.

This is probably the darkest Roald Dahl book I've ever read. Each story gives you a feeling that something is going to go terribly wrong which only builds as the story continues. Whether you will get the satisfaction of being right or the relief of being wrong depends on the story.
