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. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaphne du Maurier wrote some of the most compelling and creepy novels of the twentieth century. In books like \u003ci\u003eRebecca\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Cousin Rachel\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJamaica Inn \u003c\/i\u003eshe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatrick 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.\" \u003ci\u003eDon't Look Now\u003c\/i\u003e is a perfect introduction to a peerless storyteller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daphne Du Maurier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.96\" H x 5.04\" L x 0.78\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781590172889\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51779827794219,"sku":"9781590172889","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9781590172889.jpg?v=1774906953","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/dont-look-now-selected-stories-of-daphne-du-maurier-daphne-du-maurier-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
