The book is the landlady. Its the story of a young man billy waever during his travel from london. Looking for lodgings, he comes across a boarding-house and feels strangely compelled by its sign saying "Bed and Breakfast". Through the window, he notices a parrot in a cage and a sleeping dachshund on the floor. When he rings the doorbell, it is instantly answered by a middle-aged landlady. Billy discovers that her boarding-house is extremely cheap, and finds the woman somewhat eccentric and absent-minded, but very kind. But that its only the beginning..

I would recommend this short story because the suspense is here!

I really enjoyed this short story as I never knew what was going to happen next. It was very well written. It made me scared and terrified as I didn't know if the landlady was good or bad. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone especially because of the cliffhanger, as this makes you think as a reader and you can decide how the book will end.
