Completely Unexpected Tales

«Completely Unexpected Tales» is a collection of novellas by the mysterious Roald Dahl, an author not very well known in our country but deeply revered abroad. After all, it was he who once created the bloodthirsty gremlins and the colorful Charlie—the owner of the chocolate factory. Dahl himself is also a very colorful personality. His work cannot be described in a few words. The collection includes sixteen «classic» Dahl stories with a signature surprise ending.

"Most of all, this resembles Pelevin’s stories: half-detective, half-joke—on the edge of fantasy; here the plot easily and quite naturally triumphs over language. Edgar Poe also comes to mind, and Roald Dahl repeatedly received awards named after him" (Lev Danilkin, reviewer for "Afisha")

"Anyone who has seen the film «Four Rooms» will surely understand that the Hitchcock film Tarantino refers to... and from which the plot for the lighter game was taken, was based precisely on this story. The story is great, the idea is not banal, and the ending is very unexpected..."
