Stuffed Pets

 I think that the sentence the landlady said suggests that Billy will be killed and stuffed. I think that way because she said that Christopher and Gregory were still upstairs, but their names were written on the guest book two and three years ago. If they weren't killed and stuffed, then where were they? And why didn't they come down at all? And also when the landlady said that Gregory's skin was really good, it made the readers feel creeped out. The literary device is "forshadowing". It gives out clues about what is going to happen to Billy and makes us feel nervous. To me, I think that foreshadowing is a good way to write stories especially stories like this one. It made me unable to stop reading it, and wasn't satisfied when I saw the ending.
