Summary

Renting an apartment can be a precarious and vulnerable experience. It can be even more difficult when you’re newly divorced without a penny to your name, like Margaret. And Margaret had one more thing working against her… a fear that her landlady was trying to make her life difficult or maybe she was even trying to kill her. Margaret didn’t know, and she wasn’t sure how long she should wait to find out.

"The Landlady" is a horror audiobook short story from our “Cradle of Horror” series. This series focuses on the horrors of everyday life and how it seeps into the mundane, the unextraordinary and the downright normal. Real life is a horror story, don’t you think?
