«Tales of the Unexpected» is Roald Dahl's collection of short stories, published by Penguin in paperback, with 288 pages and text in English.
Short, self-contained stories in which Dahl combines suspense, irony and a hint of unease: there are reckless bets, pleasant-looking hosts and characters with hidden intentions. The everyday veers into extreme situations and almost always an unexpected ending, with the twist that characterises the author.
The cover notes that the collection was adapted for the Anglia television series; the stories belong to the short mystery and horror fiction genre.
For readers of short stories and suspense who want to discover Roald Dahl's unsettling side.
Roald Dahl was a British author of popular children's literature and short stories, a poet, screenwriter and a wartime fighter ace. His books have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide. He has been called "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century".
