Genesis and Catastrophe is a brilliant gem of a short story from Roald Dahl, the
master of the sting in the tail.
In Genesis and Catastrophe, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors,
tells a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a baby is
born and his worried parents, who have lost children before, are concerned for
his future . . .
Genesis and Catastrophe 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 Juliet
Stevenson.
