The Landlady by Roald Dahl
Synopsis: Billy Weaver steps off a train in Bath, England, and inquires where he can find a place to stay for the night. He winds up at a boardinghouse run by a strange, eccentric older woman. Billy begins to notice some peculiarities: the landlady's pets aren't alive, and the names in the guestbook are the names of boys who previously disappeared. By the time he connects the dots, it may be too late for him.
Talking Points: deception, naiveté, mystery, and suspense.
