Perfect bedtime stories for those who relish sleepless nights.
Twenty tales to curdle your blood and scorch your soul, chosen from his bestsellers—Over to You, Someone Like You, Kiss Kiss and Switch Bitch.
Hypnotized from the first sentence, you will remain spellbound as Roald Dahl unravels his fiendish fictions with their satisfying twist-in-the-tale finales, as he leads you through the dangers of gambling for high stakes over wine, the perils of being vegetarian and the macabre consequences of a night-time seduction.
