‘The Big Friendly Giant’ yeah fuck this shit. More like Giants eating kids while they sleep because they can smell their flesh.
Trifecta of nightmares
Roald Dahl's stories were nightmare fuel if they were written by anyone else, because his style just made it seem so goofy. Just think of fantastic mr. fox: the entire countryside is destroyed as a titan of the industrial age brutally hunts down pitiful animals trying to scrape by. The witches? Literal torture porn as children are changed into mice and put through all manners of hell.
Even his semi-autobiography was about how children tortured each other in boarding schools. I remember his tales of having to warm up a toilet for the older boy in charge of him, and how they were all whipped/caned by the older students.
The secret of NIMH?
How you gonna do Fleshlumpeater like that?
