Roald Dahl’s Kiss Kiss (1960) is a collection of macabre short stories that exemplifies his mastery of dark humor, surprise endings, and the unsettling exploration of human behavior. Aimed at adult readers, the volume highlights Dahl’s fascination with the grotesque and his ability to subvert ordinary situations into narratives of shock and irony. Dahl is best known for his celebrated children’s books, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), James and the Giant Peach (1961), Matilda (1988), and The BFG (1982), which blend imaginative plots with whimsical language and often portray children overcoming cruel or absurd adults.
