Skin and Other Stories by Roald Dahl

The whole book is filled with great short stories. I always loved reading books with short stories basically because the story keeps changing.

The first story in this is called Skin. Skin is about a greedy group of art dealers who will stop at nothing to separate a poor man from a valued picture tattooed on his back.

Another story in the book is Lamb to Slaughter. Lamb to Slaughter is about a married couple, the O'Mailey's. When Mr. O'Mailey brings bad news to Mrs. O'Mailey, she loses herself and ends up killing her husband with a lamb leg. After the incident she feeds the lamb leg to the police.

There are other stories in this book. Skin and Lamb to Slaughter are my favorites.
