The Visitor is found and often read published within the short story collection Switch Bitch, which includes three other black comedies which capture the ins and outs, highs and lows of sex (including another Uncle Oswald story, Bitch).
This story is an amusing and chilling tale from Roald Dahl, the master of the twist in the tale. Here he tells a funny, fruity story about one of his favorite characters, adventurer and seducer Oswald Hendryks Cornelius. During his travels, Uncle Oswald gets more than he bargained for in Arabia...
Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
