I found this fair-condition softcover at a local Savers thrift shop, and nabbed it for another release copy.
I enjoy Dahl's rather dark "gotcha!" stories, and this collection includes many of his best-known tales, including the marvelous "Lamb to the Slaughter". I was pleased to find that these stories include a range of moods; some are outright horror tales, others more of a psychological study. They have a marvelous tendency to get under one's skin -- if you'll pardon the expression!
[There's a TV Tropes page on Dahl and his work, with some references to stories in this collection.]
