Re: WAY OUT

It would be great if these made it onto the net.
Roald Dahl was a great writer of dark tales. One of the reasons his children's books have been so enduring is his need to include elements of the grotesque in all them, which makes them much more realistic. We all like to pretend the world is a happy place from time to time. Dahl is a friend who is around to remind you, with a wink and a smile, that the world is filled with unspeakable horrors.
I remember at least one Twilight Zone/Night Gallery episode that involved facial disfigurement. There is something very primal about this, that reaches into idea of Self.
