These eighteen tales of the macabre show Dahl?s dark brilliance as a short-story writer. They are wicked (as an old man attracts the attentions of those more interested in his skin than his wellbeing), shocking (as distasteful bets are made ? a daughter?s hand on the identity of a glass of claret, a finger risked for a Cadillac) and blackly humorous (as a cuckolded husband receives a chance to take his revenge out on his wife?s neck). Someone Like You is as devilishly ingenious and suspenseful as writing gets.
