Synopsis: Here, then, are sixteen twisted tales, each with a wicked sting. There is, for example, the strange but irresistible wager offered by 'The Man from the South', who is not all he seems to be; the surprising cruelty of 'Edward the Conqueror', in which a mysterious cat threatens the domestic harmony of its adopted home; Landlady, with its sinister host whose plans for stuffing her guests have little to do with food; and the chilling culinary revenge of a wife in 'Lamb to the Slaughter'.
