really liked it
bookshelves: virago, gothic

I thouroughly enjoyed pre-season these stories, it reminded me just what a great story teller Daphne Dr Maurier was. I always think short stories would be The hardest to get right. The Birds was definitely my favourite, The Apple Tree was another eerie story. Makes me want to pick up another of her novels.

The introduction to this new issue was interesting and safe to read without giving away spoilers as it concentrated on during Maurier film adaptations.

*Many thanks to Netgalley and Virago for a review copy in exchange for an honest opinion.

Re-read 23/05/2024.

5* for The Birds, 4* for the rest. A very good collection.

JimZ I thought overall the stories were too long, even those that I liked. I'm a big du Maurier fan but this was my least favorite of those works of fiction I have read by her.


Tania Shame, have you read any other of her short story collections?

Uh huh. "The Doll: The Lost Short Stories." I liked that.


Tania Great, I'll put it on my library list. Thanks.
