Why would you out of nowhere spoil a book like that?

Because its ancient and theres no social contract preventing spoilers after 8 weeks.

Because the horror of dahl’s adult stories are as pervasive even if knowing the ending. I reread many times and still get the same sense of impending doom barbarically twisting fates in the mind - what if it was true?

Yeah sounds like a real winner of a short story at the top of the priority list.
