The Lodger: A Tale of the London Fog

An elderly couple living in Victorian London struggle against despair as their small resources dwindle. When an eccentric and mysterious gentleman answers their advertisement for a lodger, they celebrate. But as women begin dying at the hands of "The Avenger," they start to suspect something too horrific for words.

While neither mentions their suspicions to the other, they each suffer terribly from dread when their beautiful young niece comes to stay with them and is terribly curious about their new lodger.
