Bought, thanks. I don't know why I bother checking the daily deals page through Kindle, none of the good titles are ever on it.
Could you expand on that "Classic Dahl" bit? It's a name I've heard mentioned before.
He's best known for his children's books: Charlie and the chocolate factory, James and the giant peach, The Witches. They all contain a mixture of whimsy and twisted humour to them. It translates over to his adult short fiction. When I read them I remember his style, which is very accessible with well wrought and easy language. The stories contain a macabre or grotesque element that feels natural. They seem to be working for me.
