Paperback. Condición: Good. Classic horror stories by one of masters of the form. Full of bone-chilling tales, this collection includes "The Birds," the basis for the Alfred Hitchcock film of the same title, and other creepy classics.  Daphne du Maurier wrote some of the most compelling and creepy novels of the twentieth century. In books like Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and Jamaica Inn she transformed the small dramas of everyday life--love, grief, jealousy--into the stuff of nightmares. Less known, though no less powerful, are her short stories, in which she gave free rein to her imagination in narratives of unflagging suspense. Patrick McGrath's revelatory new selection of du Maurier's stories shows her at her most chilling and most psychologically astute: a dead child reappears in the alleyways of Venice; routine eye surgery reveals the beast within to a meek housewife; nature revolts against man's abuse by turning a benign species into an annihilating force; a dalliance with a beautiful stranger offers something more dangerous than a broken heart. McGrath draws on the whole of du Maurier's long career and includes surprising discoveries together with famous stories like "The Birds." Don't Look Now is a perfect introduction to a peerless storyteller.…

McGrath draws on the whole of du Mauriers long career and includes surprising discoveries together with famous stories like The Birds. Dont Look Now is a perfect introduction to a peerless storyteller. An NYRB Original A dead child appears in the alleyways of Venice; routine eye surgery reveals the beast within to a meek housewife; nature in revolt against man's abuse turns a harmless species into a force that threatens humankind; a dalliance with a beautiful stranger offers something more dangerous than a broken heart. In Daphne du Maurier's stories, the stuff of everyday life-grief, the limits of self-knowledge, battles between the sexes, and environmental degradation-burst through the ordinary into the realm of the uncanny.This new selection of du Maurier stories, chosen from the span of her extraordinarily fruitful career, represents the author at her most chilling and most psychologically astute, looking back to the Gothic masterpieces of the Brontes and forward to the work of Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood. Here novelist Patrick McGrath revisits some of the best-known examples of du Maurier's output, like "The Birds" and "Don't Look Now," and unearths hidden gems-many of which have been unavailable for years. This book is an excellent introduction to one of the greatest storytellers of the twentieth century and a deeper exploration of one of its most prodigious imaginations.
