Fully revised Second Edition. With a new Introduction and
Bibliography by Dick Collins. The exploits of Sweeney Todd, 'The
Demon Barber of Fleet Street', have been recounted many times in
plays, films and musicals, but the origins of the character largely
were forgotten for many years. The String of Pearls - the original
tale of Sweeney Todd, a classic of British horror - was first
published as a weekly serial in 1846-7 by Edward Lloyd, the King of
the Penny Dreadfuls. One of the earliest detective stories, it
became an important source for Bram Stoker's Dracula, but it was
after over 150 years of obscurity that it appeared first in book
form in the Wordsworth edition published in 2005. The one great
mystery that has surrounded the book is who the author was - or was
it possibly the work of more than one man? In his new introduction
to this fully revised second edition, Dick Collins, by means of
detailed research of contemporary records, has established finally
the identity of the creator of this legendary figure. So here is
the original story of the terrifying owner of that famous London
barber-shop, and the secret recipe for Mrs Lovett's delicious
pies...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of
the 16th International Workshop on Security Protocols, SP 2008,
held in Cambridge, UK, in April 2008. The 17 revised full papers
presented together with edited transcriptions of some of the
discussions following the presentations have gone through multiple
rounds of reviewing, revision, and selection. The theme of this
workshop was "Remodelling the Attacker" with the intention to tell
the students at the start of a security course that it is very
important to model the attacker, but like most advice to the young,
this is an oversimplification. Shouldn't the attacker's capability
be an output of the design process as well as an input? The papers
and discussions in this volume examine the theme from the
standpoint of various different applications and adversaries.

Varney the Vampire (1847) is a penny dreadful novel by British
writers James Malcolm Rymer and Thomas Peckett Prest. Originally
serialized in cheap volumes, the novel introduced some of the most
recognizable tropes of vampire fiction still used today, including
the depiction of fangs and the use of a Gothic setting. Set during
the Napoleonic Wars, Varney the Vampire is a story of tragedy,
damnation, and revenge that pioneered many of the themes common to
horror and pulp fiction today. Sir Francis Varney was condemned to
an eternity of vampiric life following his actions during the reign
of Oliver Cromwell. Having betrayed a royalist and killed his own
son in a fit of rage, Varney was forced to suffer death and
resurrection countless times over on his insatiable quest for human
blood. In the nineteenth century, he targets the Bannerworths, a
once-noble family fallen on hard times in their crumbling estate.
Gruesome and tragic, the story manages to humanize the vampire
without softening his terrifying actions or features, laying the
groundwork for an action-packed romp through such legendary cities
as London, Naples, and Venice. Varney the Vampire is a grisly penny
dreadful novel, a quick-witted work of horror that has inspired
generations of storytellers and readers alike. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Varney the Vampire by James Malcolm Rymer and Thomas Peckett
Prest is a classic of British horror fiction reimagined for modern
readers.

Sweeney Todd: The Barber of Fleet Street (1846-1847) is a penny
dreadful novel by British writers James Malcolm Rymer and Thomas
Peckett Prest. Originally serialized in cheap volumes, the novel
marks the debut of Sweeney Todd, a villain whose story inspired
Stephen Sondheim's legendary musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber
of Fleet Street (1979), which won a Tony Award for Best Musical and
an Olivier Award for Best New Musical before serving as source
material for Tim Burton's 2007 film of the same name. In London in
1785, a young sailor named Lieutenant Thornhill goes missing while
on leave. Last seen on Fleet Street while entering the barber shop
of Sweeney Todd, his mysterious disappearance inspires Colonel
Jeffrey, a friend, to investigate. Discovering that Thornhill was
carrying with him a pearl necklace for Johanna Oakley, the lover of
a man lost at sea, Jeffrey questions the young girl. Disturbed by
his story, and moved by Thornhill's honorable intentions, Johanna
offers her help in his search. Suspicious of Todd, who has recently
lost an assistant to a local insane asylum, she dresses as a young
boy and goes to his barber shop to apply for the position. There,
she begins to uncover Todd's secret operation, whereby murdering
his unsuspecting patrons, he transports their bodies to Mrs.
Lovett's shop to be turned into cheap meat pies. Sweeney Todd: The
Barber of Fleet Street is a grisly penny dreadful novel, a
quick-witted work of horror that has inspired several successful
adaptations. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Sweeney Todd: The Barber of
Fleet Street by James Malcolm Rymer and Thomas Peckett Prest is a
classic of British horror fiction reimagined for modern readers.
