Roald Dahl may have been quirky and whimsical, but he also had a darker side that made its way into a lot of his short stories. In celebration of Roald Dahl today, we reread “Man From the South,” one of our favorite Dahl tales for grown ups. We also discovered this gem of an Alfred Hitchcock version of the story. We won’t give too much away, but know that there’s some finger chopping in this one.

What’s your favorite thrilling tale from Roald Dahl?
