Critic reviews

Unnerving bedtime stories, subtle, proficient, hair-raising and done to a turn

Roald Dahl is one of the few writers I know whose work can accurately be described as addictive

Most relevant

Such a great short story! Tamsin G does it justice - smooth, slow, ideal. Highly recommend.

Fabulous classic
