The Great Automatic Grammatizator and Other Stories
The Great Automatic Grammatizator (published in the U.S. as The Umbrella Man and Other Stories) is a collection of thirteen short stories written by Roald Dahl. The stories were selected for teenagers from Dahl's adult works and published in 1998. The stories, with the exception of the war story Katina, possess a deadpan, ironic, bizarre or even macabre sense of humor. They generally end with unexpected plot twists.
Kiss Kiss is a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl, first published in 1960.
Without becoming horror, these are some of Dahl's most macabre stories. Delicately, the naive punish the wicked, but also the other way around.
Most of the stories are presented as typical narratives, albeit with imaginative characters. The horror of each story is built around implication, and many horrific endings, involving death or unpleasant situations, can only be inferred, since nothing is directly stated.
"The Champion of the World" is a condensed version of the story that would become Dahl's 1977 children's book, Danny the Champion of the World.
