'The Landlady' is a short story written by British author Roald Dahl. It's a terror story that tells the story of a young man named Billy Weaver, a man in his way to his new job he stays at a bed and breakfast managed by a seemingly nice and talkative landlady. Things get a dark turn when he recognizes the names of several reportedly missing men in her guest book and the lady tells him about her interest for taxidermy. The story closes with the implication that Billy had been poisoned and is about to be stuffed by the lady.
