About this listen

INTRODUCED BY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER STEPHEN KING

A STUNNING COLLECTION OF DAPHNE DU MAURIER'S THIRTEEN DARKEST STORIES—INCLUDING "THE BIRDS" AND "DON'T LOOK NOW"

Amid the reflections and twisting alleyways of Venice, a grieving couple are haunted by the past. On a sharp December day, the wind changes—and the birds begin to gather. A group of wartime scientists attempt to capture the power of death, an eye operation reveals a monstrous reality, and a woman returns home to find she doesn't exist.

From murderous desires to supernatural forces, du Maurier's masterful short stories stare into the dark heart of our relationships: between men and women, humanity and nature, love and obsession, the future and the past. Whatever you do, don't look now....

I fell in love with Daphne du Maurier when I first saw ‘Don’t look now’, which was one of her short stories. It is a taste of the 40’ through to the 60’s, telling tales in a language we no longer use, I miss the lyricism. The stories are such you have to listen to each one to the end. It means longer walks, staying in the car to wait for the denouement, getting to sleep a little longer. Needless to say they are incredibly imaginative, absorbing and each one is brilliantly narrated.

Chilling tales beautifully written and read

Some of the stories were familiar from film adaptations but most were new to me.
Just the right amount of otherworldliness for my Halloween reading.

I thoroughly recommend this collection to those who have read other works by this author and those who are just beginning to learn about Daphne de Maurier

A wonderful collection of stories
