"Lamb to the Slaughter" is a 1953 short story by Roald Dahl. It was initially rejected, along with four other stories, by The New Yorker, but was published in Harper's Magazine in September 1953. The story was adapted for Dahl's British TV series Tales of the Unexpected. Dahl included it in his short story compilation Someone Like You.
"Lamb to the Slaughter" demonstrates Dahl's fascination with horror (with elements of black comedy), which is seen in both his adult fiction and his stories for children. The story supposedly was suggested to Dahl by his friend Ian Fleming: "Why don't you have someone murder their husband with a frozen leg of mutton which she then serves to the detectives who come to investigate the murder?"

Neat reading Lewis. I actually came up with a sequel. Mary’s son Patrick now a teenager, finds out how his father actually died and Patrick contemplates on whether or not he should do the same to his mother or should he tell the police on her. What do you think of my idea for a sequel?

[@kade_slays]

I know this is late but that would be rlly cool!

[@Happy-go-l]

That ending was like a cliff hanger

[@dorisbarkler8570]

My absolute favorite short story ever. First read it when I was 12. Still love it 20 years later. Masterpiece ❤

[@lewiskirk8289]

So good! The ending is masterful. 👍

[@huntercoleman460]

What do you think of my idea for a sequel? Mary’s son Patrick finds out how his father actually died and contemplates on whether or not he should kill his mother the same way she killed his father.

[@dorisbarkler8570]

@@huntercoleman460 That sounds awesome. Like how did he find out? Was mom at her death bed? Is the other woman from back in the day involved? So many possible twists and turns 👍🏻👍🏻

[@huntercoleman460]

@@dorisbarkler8570 I imagine Patrick is 14 and Mary tells him when he comes home from school. Patrick is furious at his mother at first and then remembers his mom had lamb (his favorite meal) in the freezer. He ponders on doing it but the anger of not having a dad gets the best of him and he kills her the same way she killed her husband. In a way, Patrick pretty much avenged his father’s death.

do you guys have any idea of what he said to his wife ??+

[@m_0512_m]

I think he said that he either cheated or that he is leaving her for the mistress

[@amycox5733]

I supposed it’s left ambiguous deliberately- my first interpretation is that he’s looking for a divorce.

"hey, I don't think I can be president anymore-"

[@canlong9603]

Uhm... Anyone know what does the sentence "get the weapon, and you've got the man" in this story mean? I can't figure out.

[@alexandranorton281]

It basically means if you find the murder weapon, it's much easier to figure out who committed the crime.

[@mbalijacobs7002]

And it's ironic because they ate the weapon that was suppose to help them

[@canlong9603]

Simple story, but versions on internet contain many errors. "... and she -say- very still through it all..." -> "sat" p/s: Sorry, I'm looking for horror short stories that are actually scary. Classic ones in Hitchcock can't scare 15 year old child. Can you recommend me some? Thank you a lot.

Try Roald Dahls pig or the Swan. You can find them both on the Roald Dahl playlist on my channel.
