Sweeney Todd and the String of Pearls

Set in 19th-century London, the chilling legend of Sweeney Todd unfolds at his barber shop on Fleet Street, where he is said to have robbed and murdered over 150 customers. Utilizing underground tunnels to transport the remains to Mrs. Lovett's bakery, the grisly tale suggests that unsuspecting patrons enjoyed pies filled with human flesh. Originating as a sensational "penny dreadful" in 1846, this story has inspired numerous adaptations, including a highly anticipated film directed by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp. This audiobook version is a specially commissioned script by Blackstone Audio, Inc., capturing the essence of the original tale.
