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\/b\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\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Don't Look Now: Selected Stories of Daphne Du Maurier | Daphne Du Maurier | Paperback | 9781590172889 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1782744","offer_id":50532304158872,"sku":"1782744","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81B4lChG6NL.jpg?v=1790352896","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/dont-look-now-selected-stories-of-daphne-du-maurier","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
