IN THIS EPISODE: The Landlady" is a short horror story by Roald Dahl. It initially appeared in The New Yorker, on November 28, 1959. Dahl once said that he had always wanted to write a ghost story but never had been quite been able to do so. The closest he came, in his opinion, was the story I’m about to share with you… “The Landlady.” But after reading through his own story afterward, he doesn’t think he really succeeded with his effort. nulltheless, the tale won "Best Short Story Mystery" at the 1960 Edgar Awards. So for this Thriller Thursday episode, I bring you “The Landlady” by Roald Dahl.
