This is sinister, and becomes more so as you progress through the story. Billy Weaver arrives in Bath, needing to find a room for the night. He asks at the station and is pointed to the hotel down the road, only on the way he sees a sign for Bed & Breakfast in a house window & feel compelled to knock at the door. The landlady has a warm motherly smile and things seem all a bit too good to be true, probably because they are. Feels a bit like the Hotel California, only less exotic. The unease gradually grows, but you never actually know if any of your suspicions are justified; the outcome is left entirely to your imagination... ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The Landlady is a brilliant gem of a short story from Roald Dahl, the master of the sting in the tail. In The Landlady, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors, tells a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a young man in need of room meets a most accommodating landlady . . . The Landlady is taken from the short story collection Kiss Kiss, which includes ten other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who pawns the mink coat from her lover with unexpected results; the priceless piece of furniture that is the subject of a deceitful bargain; a wronged woman taking revenge on her dead husband, and others. 'Unnerving bedtime stories, subtle, proficient, hair-raising and done to a turn.' (San Francisco Chronicle ) This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download read by Tamsin Greig. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
