In Roald Dahl’s Car: “‘[My stories] can be pretty horrible. They don’t always end well; there’s often a twist in the tail. Actually, I think I’m writing funny stories, because they can be very comical. There’s such a narrow line between the macabre and laughter.’ I could sense him smiling as he said it.”
