The Lodger (1913) is a novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes. Inspired by the infamous murders committed by Jack the Ripper and Dr. Neill Cream—also known as the Lambeth Poisoner—The Lodger is a thriller that employs aspects of the popular penny dreadful novel while maintaining its literary status as a bone-chilling and highly original tale. “The room, especially when it be known that it was part of a house standing in a grimy, if not exactly sordid, London thoroughfare, was exceptionally clean and well-cared-for. A casual stranger, more particularly one of a Superior class to their own, on suddenly opening the door of that sitting-room; would have thought that Mr. and Mrs. Bunting presented a very pleasant cosy picture of comfortable married life.” Behind their polished exterior, the Buntings hide a common struggle. After countless failures, their business is threatened with total failure, forcing them to go cold and hungry in order to keep up appearances. As their savings plummet, a strange man named Mr. Sleuth arrives offering to pay for the next month in advance. The Buntings are in no position to turn him down. At the same time, a series of brutal murders shocks the city of London, raising their suspicions and fears to a fever pitch. The Lodger is a story of desperation and terror inspired by some of the twentieth century’s most notorious serial killers. This edition of Marie Belloc Lowndes’ The Lodger is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Neskutočná nuda

Je mi ľúto, ale pravdepodobne som nikdy nečítala nudnejšiu knihu. Autorka síce nemôže za to, aké očakávania si vytvára potenciálny čitateľ na základe propagácie, ale keď si niekto kupuje knižku o Jackovi Rozparovačovi, tak asi nestojí o rovnako nudný a nevýrazný opis vznikajucejo vzťahu (kniha má byť spracovaná ako román, ale ani z tejto strany to, žiaľ, nestálo za nič). Škoda, veľmi som sa na knihu tešila.
