Esta colección de cuentos cortos ofrece una mezcla de humor negro, suspense y giros inesperados. Cada relato profundiza en los aspectos extraños y a menudo inquietantes que acechan bajo lo cotidiano. Con una inventiva increíble y un don para lo absurdo, el autor expone la malevolencia oculta y los elementos grotescos del mundo. Es una experiencia de lectura que provoca, divierte y, en ocasiones, aterra.
There's the gambler who collects little fingers from losers...there's the lady who murders her husband with a frozen leg of lamb...not to mention the man who has made a machine that can hear grass scream...Roald Dahl's particular brand of bizarre, alarming and disturbing story-telling has already attracted a huge following which can only be more disturbed, alarmed and - thankfully - amused by 'Someone Like You'.
Dahl is a master at introducing readers to a new sense of what lurks beneath the ordinary.
