“Book Descriptions: Dip in the Pool is a short, sharp story from Roald Dahl, the master of the shocking tale.

In this tale, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favorite authors, tells an unsettling story of human folly. Here, a man acts rashly and life-threateningly to ensure he wins a prize...

Dip in the Pool was originally published in the 19 January 1952 edition of The New Yorker. It was later published in the short story collection Someone Like You (1953) , which includes seventeen other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who serves a dish that baffles the police; a curious machine that reveals the horrifying truth about plants; the man waiting to be bitten by the venomous snake asleep on his stomach; and others. It was also published in Skin: and Other Stories (1960).

Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , James and the Giant Peach, Matilda , and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often adapted into hit films, helping to further the legacy of stories that continue to make millions of readers, young and old alike, shiver today.”
