I loved Roald Dahl as a kid. I have a wicked sense of humour, and I've always atributed it to beign "currupted" by Roald Dahl works.
His "The Landlady" is one of my favourite short stories, because it's a horror story, yet it has a very calm breezy feel to it. It's only at the end, when the story ends and the lady is smiling and Billy is still conversing with her, then you'd be like "Wait a minute here....."
And his "Lamb to the Slaughter". Talk about the perfect crime, complete with an edible murder weapon. How cool is that?
