A classic of alienation and horror, The Birds was immortalised by Hitchcock in his celebrated film. The five other chilling stories in this collection echo a sense of dislocation and mock man’s dominance over the natural world. The mountain paradise of ‘Monte Veritv?’ promises immortality, but at a terrible price; a neglected wife haunts her husband in the form of an apple tree; a professional photographer steps out from behind the camera and into his subject’s life; a date with a cinema usherette leads to a walk in the cemetery; and a jealous father finds a remedy when three’s a crowd . . .

“Anyone starting this book under the impression that he may sleepily relax is in for a shock…continually provokes both pity and terror.”-The Observer (UK)

Daphne du Maurier

About the Author

Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989) was born in London. Her first novel appeared in 1931, but it would be her fifth novel, Rebecca, that established her as one of the most popular writers of her day. She spent most of her life in Cornwall, the setting for many of her books, and was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1969.
