Quote:I did actually read one of his short stories for adults back in high school. It was about a lady who murdered her husband with a joint of lamb, and got away with it by getting the police to eat the evidence. Weirdly, telling you that does not really spoil the story because it's all about how she manages to pull this off. It's really good.
Ah, "Lamb to the Slaughter"! Dahl wrote a bunch of awesome/ twisted adult short stories. I have an anthology somewhere. There's one about infant Hitler that is also really memorable, and one about a baby that starts to turn into a bee...
