Sweeney Todd or The String of Pearls

The String of Pearls - the original tale of Sweeney Todd, a classic of British horror - was first published as a weekly serial in 1846-7 by Edward Lloyd, the King of the Penny Dreadfuls. One of the earliest detective stories, it became an important source for Bram Stoker´s Dracula. After 157 years of obscurity, it appears here for the first time in book form.
