A Taste of the Unexpected

by Roald Dahl
A Taste of the Unexpected - Thryft
A Taste of the Unexpected - Thryft

Sinister tales with Dahl's dark, suspenseful wit.

If you're a fan of Roald Dahl's unique brand of storytelling, "A Taste of the Unexpected" might just be the deliciously dark twist you crave. Think of those nights when you're itching for a story that leaves you delightfully unsettled, where every turn of the page is a step deeper into the brilliant mind of one of the world's most inventive authors. This collection will suit anyone who loves their tales with a dash of the macabre served with impeccable timing.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Every book tells a story ... And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. As well as being famous the world over for his darkly humorous children's tales — all published by Puffin — Roald Dahl is also known for his compelling and twisted short stories, all of which are published in Penguin paperback. A Taste of the Unexpected gathers together three sinister tales that fully exhibit Dahl's mastery of suspense and his unsurpassed ability to tease the reader until the very last sentence.
