Roald Dahl had a lifelong fascination with the macabre — and here he turns curator, handpicking fourteen classic ghost stories guaranteed to keep you up long after you’ve closed the book. Do you enjoy being scared? These spine-chilling tales of ghostly goings-on include Sheridan Le Fanu’s The Ghost of a Hand, Edith Wharton’s Afterward, Cynthia Asquith’s The Corner Shop and Mary Treadgold’s The Telephone — timeless, haunting selections chosen by the master of dark fiction himself. The cover art comes from Charming Baker, whose striking paintings perfectly echo the twisted, shadowy world Dahl made his own. PERFECT for fans of Roald Dahl — but think you know him? Think again. This is a whole side of Dahl you may never have encountered. Roald Dahl reveals even more about the darker side of human nature in seven other centenary editions featuring his own stories: Lust, Madness, Cruelty, Deception, Trickery, Innocence and War.
