pickA nice little collection, with varying degrees of "paranormal". It's not overdone but rather deftly weaved into the narrative. The endings are not wholly unexpected but the stories hook you all the same, thanks to the lively descriptions and great atmosphere building. I'll be on the hunt for more from du Maurier, for sure...
Day 3 of #12Booksof2020 One of my greatest discoveries of the year has been Daphne Du Maurier. I first read her in March, when I read the tagged volume. Although certain stories work better than others, at her finest Du Maurier is on par with Shirley Jackson. As Michael Dirda wrote, ““Her tales of the macabre are among the best of their genre.“ Features stories that were adapted into two classic films, the title story & “The BIrds.“ @andrew65
There is a feeling of deja vu about this collection of stories. Maybe I have read some before ... maybe not , adds to the intrigue ... very good.
Next story : A Borderline Case !
Excellent writing ...
I‘m doing a bit of “pre-October reading” with these weird little Du Maurier tales. 😊
pickI read the first two stories, the title story & Birds, in this collection at the end of January & for some reason set it aside. I picked it up yesterday and just finished. Obviously as it is a short story collection certain pieces are stronger than others, but the ones that do work match Shirley Jackson at her finest. It's no wonder that Michael Dirda wrote, "Du Maurier's tales of the macabre are among the best of their genre." Now on to Rebecca!
pickThis collection was amazing - even the weakest story was one I could not put down. Definitely will be reading more du Maurier.
Not sure how faithful it is to the story, but Don't Look Now is a great 1970s arthouse horror flick.
Did a little #retailtherapy after book club last night and went slightly overboard, maybe. In my defense the art of the novella series are kinda hard to find so when I see them I snatch them up... and the other 2 books were on BookPeople‘s final sale (half off) shelf because they have minor (like almost nonexistent) imperfections. 😅 #bookhaul #amnowonanotherbookbuyingban #letsseehowlongthatlasts
pickShort stories. All pretty good, some excellent. 💖📚
Found this today! My very first Daphne du Maurier. 😊📚
#Eyes #150PnPCoverParty. My favourite movie adaptation from a du Maurier novel/story ❤️📚
YESSSSS found this on Canadian iTunes. SO GOOD.
Just purchased! I have loved Rebecca forever, and I loved My Cousin Rachel, which I read this summer. I have read a couple of Du Maurier's short stories, and I am excited to read some more in this collection.
• Ahhh! That awful stressful time when your entire TBR has lost your interest and you want to order all new books... 🤦🏼♀️ Does anyone else get that? This is the worst thing for me and 9/10 I actually end up doing just that. ✨ #booklover #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookblogger #bibliophile #bookishfeatures #met_createchange
Just finished listening to Peter Capaldi's narration of Don't Look Now. AMAZING. So well structured and brilliantly told.
