Summary

The Landlady" is a short¬Ýhorror story¬Ýby¬ÝRoald Dahl. It initially appeared in¬ÝThe 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‚Äôm about to share with you‚Ä¶ ‚ÄúThe Landlady.‚Äù But after reading through his own story afterward, he doesn‚Äôt think he really succeeded with his effort. Nonetheless, the tale won "Best Short Story Mystery" at the 1960¬ÝEdgar Awards. So for this Thriller Thursday episode, I bring you ‚ÄúThe Landlady‚Äù by Roald Dahl.
