"Lamb to the Slaughter" (1953) is a short story by Roald Dahl.

It was adapted for an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and starred Barbara Bel Geddes. Originally broadcast on April 13, 1958, it was one of only 17 AHP episodes directed by Hitchcock himself. The story was subsequently adapted for Dahl's British TV series Tales of the Unexpected. Dahl included it in his short story compilation Someone Like You.

Weigh Up About Books Lamb to the Slaughter

i read this when i was nine and it was the only roald dahl i liked so i think this sums up who i am, and who i have always been, as a person

Lamb to the slaughter was very interesting and jumpy.I liked the bit when the wife hit her husband on the head and admitted that she didn't do anything.I also liked the bit when she lied to the cops cause it makes me feel like reading more until she gets caught. I've never liked a book before and reading Lamb to the slaughter was AWESOME.

Mary Maloney is not the kind of besauch you want cross. Fun little short story even if a teensy bit far-fetched.

One of great short stories by Roald Dahl. Almost whatever I have read by this author can be considered as brilliant unique tales. Here we meet Mary; Mrs. Maloney who is married to a detective and expecting her delivery in next few months. On every working day and near the five pm, she waited patiently her husbands arrival from work. They had drinks and then small chat. On that particular day they had a plan to have dinner out but when he said Ive already told you, dont make supper for me. Im

This is the title of the first chapter of 'The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry'. You can find a copy of this short story here It will take you about 5 minutes to read it. It is very good, and makes me want to locate a copy of 'Someone Like You'.

"It's the old story," he said. "Get the weapon, and you've got the man." Woah! This is a kind of short story one wouldn't expect from a children author. But Roald Dahl nailed it so good. I loved this! CHARACTERS Husband and wife: Patrick and Mary Maloney PLOT It's a crime story. When Mary's husband comes home after his detective job, he is acting very unusual. He tells her about leaving her for good and will be taking care of her. But she is very shocked and kills her husband. Then she

Oh, Mary Maloney. You are a clever woman! And no shame. Mary has just pulled off the perfect murder and the weapon is made to good use.I have a weakness for dark humor and when I'm not expecting it, it's even better. I have only read James and the Giant Peach by Ronald Dahl which I liked, but his adult fiction hits the mark. This short story is only 18 pages, but very entertaining.
