In this selection of short stories the surprises are as wicked and witty as ever. Taken from Someone Like You, Kiss Kiss and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, plus four additional stories, they lure you into a world as full of unease, coincidence and black humour as you could wish.

The Visitor and Bitch are extracts from the diaries of the notorious Oswald Hendryks Cornelius, hedonist beyond compare. Uncle Oswalds exploits are as extraordinary as they are scandalous, as these two tales of sex and intrigue confirm in vivid and hilarious detail. The delicious thrill of sexual expectation - and its sometimes maddening effects - are explored in The Great Switcheroo and The Last Act; here the power of desire is a double-edged sword, both pleasurable and potentially catastrophic. Lust, triumph, the galling deflation of defeat: Roald Dahl captures it all in these superbly taut black comedies of human weakness and unexpected reversal.
