Kiss Kiss is a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl, first published in 1960 by Alfred Knopf. Most of the constituent stories had been previously published elsewhere.

It contains the following short stories:
"The Landlady"
"William and Mary"
"The Way Up to Heaven"
"Parson's Pleasure"
"Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel's Coat"
"Royal Jelly"
"Georgy Porgy"
"Genesis and Catastrophe: A True Story"
"Edward the Conqueror"
"Pig"
"The Champion of the World"

Without becoming horror, these are some of Dahl's most macabre stories. Delicately, the naive punish the wicked, but also the other way around.
Most of the stories are presented as typical narratives, albeit with imaginative characters. The horror of each story is built around implication, and many horrific endings, involving death or unpleasant situations, can only be implied, since nothing is directly stated.

Bought it on a flea market. Usually like Roald Dahl but this one definetly is too macabre for me...

I've read that book many years ago, but in German. I think when I was somewhere between 15 and 17. Loooong ago. I'm looking forward to reading them in the language they were written in. :)

I really enjoyed reading this again. I remembered some of the stories of course, others I had forgotten about. 'Pig' threw me a little because I expected a different ending, up until the waiting room scene. But, all in all, quite an enjoyable, small volume, which allowed me to read just one story in bed before going to sleep. Very nice. :)
