Londoners are disappearing, Todd's young apprentice Tobias is subject to constant fear and abuse, and the barber's grows more peculiar as the days go by.

Famously adapted to the big screen by Tim Burton, Sweeney Todd is a classic of British horror writing and its legendary villain remains iconic this day.

Book excerpt: The "penny blood” came into being through a process which began with higher standards of general education and literacy in England at the beginning of the 19th century, and continued with the invention of fast and efficient printing presses and cheap paper production. These combined elements simultaneously created a new, mass market for literature, and fed that market with new, affordable product. The gothic novel, popular amongst a rarefied class of literary readers, duly gave way to sensationalistic, graphic shockers for the masses. The PENNY BLOOD CLASSICS ebook series, which focuses on the "golden age” of the penny bloods, starts with the legendary tale of Sweeney Todd, cut-throat barber of London's Fleet Street. Perhaps inspired by "Horrible Murder And Human Pie-Makers", a gruesome true crime story published in 1825 in The Tell-Tale and included here as a fascinating bonus story. Todd first appeared in Edward Lloyd's celebrated serial "The String Of Pearls" (1846-47), most likely written by James Malcolm Rymer, either alone or alternating with Thomas Peckett Prest. The blood-curdling version included here is from a lesser-known periodical, probably published around 1850, by which time Todd had acquired, via a theatrical melodrama by George Dibden Pitt, his famous catch-phrase "I'll polish him off”. The book also includes an extensive introduction on the history of the penny blood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweeney Todd is a barber who murders his customers and turns their remains into meat pies sold at the pie shop of Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime. His barber shop is situated in Fleet Street, London, next to St. Dunstan's church, and is connected to Lovett's pie shop in nearby Bell Yard by means of an underground passage. Todd dispatches his victims by pulling a lever while they are in his barber chair, which makes them fall backward down a revolving trapdoor and generally causes them to break their necks or skulls on the cellar floor below. If the victims are still alive, he goes to the basement and "polishes them off" by slitting their throats with his straight razor.

Download or read book Sweeney Todd written by Robert L. Mack and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-12-13 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ladies and Gentlemen...I have to state that Mrs Lovett's pies are made of human flesh!' This shocking announcement provides the stunning dénouement to a narrative first published over a period of four months in the winter of 1846-7. The revelation marked only the beginning, however, of the notorious career of Sweeney Todd, soon known to legend as the 'Demon Barber' of London's Fleet Street. The story of Todd's entrepreneurial partnership with neighbouring pie-maker Margery Lovett - at once inconceivably unpalatable and undeniably compelling - has subsequently provided the substance for a seemingly endless series of successful dramatic adaptations, popular songs and ballads, novellas, radio plays, graphic novels, ballets, films, and musicals. Both gleeful and ghoulish, the original tale of Sweeney Todd, first published under the title The String of Pearls, is an early classic of British horror writing. It combines the story of Todd's grisly method of robbing and dispatching his victims with a romantic sub-plot involving deception, disguise, and detective work, set against the backdrop of London's dark and unsavoury streets. This edition provides an authoritative text of the first version of the story ever to be published, as well as a lively introduction to its history and reputation.
