Penny Dreadfuls: Sensational Tales of Terror
by Stefan Dziemianowicz
(I read through the stories, omitting the stories I’ve read before and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde because I own that story separately. I’m only reviewing Sweeney Todd at this time.)
I read this for the 2018 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge for book that is also stage play or musical.
The String of Pearls was a horrific and entertaining tale of a gruesome barber who murdered his clients. I enjoyed the story in print, but it was nowhere near as amazing as the musical.
I thought the short story was kind of long and drawn out as it was quite obvious that Mr. Todd was murdering people, but it was long and drawn out in a way that made it kind of hilarious that not many people seemed to figure it out, despite the many clues in everyone’s face.
