Question
In a very short story by this author, a petrified child imagines himself straddling a “deep curling river of black” while traversing a red, black, and yellow carpet. The narrator of another story by this author remembers being beaten with a cane by the school prefect in a flashback triggered by misrecognizing a stranger on the train as the title “Galloping Foxley.” The main character plots to send the U.S. President into a sexual frenzy using the title (*) fragrance in this author’s story “Bitch,” which features his recurring character Uncle Oswald. In another story by this author, a woman giggles as a policeman dines on a leg of mutton she used to kill her husband. For 10 points, name this author of short horror stories like “Lamb to the Slaughter,” who also wrote The BFG. ■END■
