The Lodger

The Lodger is a haunting mystery of fog, lodgings and a city gripped by a Ripper-like terror, as a respectable couple take in a quiet gentleman whose hours and habits begin to trouble their sleep. Marie Belloc Lowndes built, from the atmosphere of the Whitechapel crimes, a novel of suspicion that has drawn filmmakers from Hitchcock onward. The question is not only who walks the streets, but what a host is willing to notice.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Marie Adelaide Lowndes’s fog-bound narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the lodging-house dread and Ripper-shadowed suspense of The Lodger in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
