Though he’s most well-known for his children's stories (James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, andCharlie and the Chocolate Factory), Roald Dahl was also a prolific writer of short stories for adults, many of which are a bit on the macabre side. Today's story, "Pig" is one of these darker stories but written in such a casual voice that the reader is caught quite off-guard. A story of trust and betrayal, "Pig" is a story you won't soon forget.
