Yeah, I've read a couple, one about a frozen leg of lamb, I remember. He was a pretty dark character, including holding some deeply offensive views.
Talented guy when he was focusing his work though - there was a great anthology TV series in the UK called Tales of the Unexpected, some episodes of which I think were based on his more adult writing (including the leg of lamb one).
Are you gonna try to tell me the oompa-loompas weren't so much happier moving to England and working in the factory instead of being in their home
