The Landlady
It has often been stated that you cannot always judge a book by its cover. The Landlady is a murderous woman whose guests never leave her Bed and Breakfast alive. From the moment Billy sees the Bed and Breakfast, it is clear that both the place and Landlady are not normal. An example from the story is, "We have it all to ourselves," she said, smiling at him over her shoulder as she led the way upstairs.

Overall nobody knows exactly why she murders people for the joy of it, it could be that she feels lonely and keeps the bodies at her house for comfort, or any other reasons, as well as Billy knowing she and the place were odd since the beginning he listened to the Landlady ad stayed instead of just leaving he could've prevented himself from getting killed that
