Beneath the charm of Roald Dahl’s storytelling lies something darker, sharper, and far more twisted. Skin is a chilling collection of macabre short stories where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Whether it’s a priceless tattoo with a sinister twist, a shocking wager over a severed finger, or a landlady with unusual tastes—Dahl’s wicked imagination leaves you guessing (and gasping) until the very last line. This isn’t the Dahl of golden tickets and giant peaches—this is Dahl at his most devilish. With razor-sharp prose and morbid wit, he exposes the dark instincts that lie just beneath the surface of polite society. Each story is a masterclass in suspense, filled with unexpected turns, eerie details, and deliciously awful people getting exactly what they deserve.
