★★
I think I really expected more from this book because I loved Dahl's books when I was young. I think my mistake was comparing this author to more renowned horror or twisted authors that I've read lately - and Dahl isn't like that, he has a writing style all his own, and there isn't much horror going on with it.
This book was an anthology of weird stories ranging from a strange woman taxidermist that might stuff humans to a man who might be half bee/half human. It's not that I didn't enjoy the content in this book, I just was expecting something different altogether and was not pleasantly surprised. Most of the stories were not page turners for me, and I had to will myself not to skip onto the next one out of boredom. I had another Dahl non-children book on my 'to-read' list and this book caused me to delete it and move on to other things.
