Sweeney Todd is a barber who dispatches his victims by pulling a lever
as they sit in his barber chair. His victims fall backward down a
revolving trapdoor into the basement of his shop, generally causing them
to break their necks or skulls. In case they are alive, Todd goes to
the basement and "polishes them off" (slitting their throats with his
straight razor). After Todd has robbed his dead victims of their goods,
Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime, assists him in disposing of the
bodies by baking their flesh into meat pies and selling them to the
unsuspecting customers of her pie shop.
All the horror stories in this nice collection are written by unknown
authors.
