"The title of this book is a perfect description of its contents. My mother would never have told me the stories I have collected here, and I also advise against passing them on to your children. These are tales for refined palates, familiar with blunt objects, screams in the night and poisoned glasses of wine. The only thing I can promise you is that a wide range of emotions awaits you - but nothing tender or sentimental, which is not really my style."
Alfred Hitchcock
