Don't Look Now: Selected Stories of Daphne Du Maurier
Classic horror stories by one of masters of the form. 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. Daphne du Maurier wrote some of the most compelling and creepy novels of the twentieth century. In books like Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and Jamaica Inn she 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. Patrick 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

Där försvarar på ett sjukligt vis hushållerskan Mrs Danvers minnet av de Winthers första hustru Rebecca, som dött i en tragisk olycka ett år tidigare.Rebecca, en modern skräckberättelse och en detaljstudie över besatthet, räknas till de stora engelska romanklassikerna.

Fåglarna Och Andra Noveller
*Filmatiserad av Alfred Hitchcock 1963* »Ett av skräcklitteraturens mästerverk.« | The New York Times Book Review »Det är så obehagligt [...] det ger mersmak, jag vill ha mer sån här ondska i mitt liv.« | Göran Everdahl, Go'kvällFåglarna är Daphne du Mauriers mästerliga skräcknovell om hur människans maktställning i naturen upphör att gälla när fåglarna går till attack. Alfred Hitchcock använde berättelsen för sin oförglömliga film, och det är inte enda gången du Mauriers visuellt suggestiva scenarion blivit klassisk skräckfilm. I detta urval med du Mauriers allra bästa noveller ingår även Titta inte nu (filmatiserad av Nicolas Roeg), samt Inte efter midnatt, De blå linserna och Äppelträdet.Fåglarna och andra noveller samlar några av 1900-talets mest klassiska engelskspråkiga noveller. Här i svensk översättning av Gerd Lilliehöök, Lisa Rothstein och Gösta Sellin och med ett nyskrivet förord av författaren Johan Theorin.DAPHNE DU MAURIER [1907 -1989] var en engelsk romanförfattare och dramatiker. Hennes berättelser utspelar sig ofta i Cornwall i sydvästra England, där du Maurier själv levde större delen av sitt liv. Hennes mest berömda verk är romanen Rebecca och novellen Fåglarna, som båda även blivit klassiska skräckfilmer av Alfred Hitchcock.»Den här typen av litteratur förtjänar att bli odödlig.« | Elisabeth Brännström, Tidningen Kulturen»Suggestiv och mardrömslik... väl värd sin klassikerstämpel.« | Stefan Eklund, Borås Tidning»När skräck-effekterna väl kommer är de sparsmakade - men fullkomligt fasaväckande.« | Ramsus Landström , ETC»Gillar du skräcknoveller med suggestiva undertoner och ett ständigt växande mörkt hot som du inte riktigt kan ta på så är detta perfekt läsning för dig.« | Daniel Gunnarsson, LitteraturMagazinet»Allteftersom det hos du Maurier ständigt lurande obehaget tränger sig på blir ljuden, bilderna och till och med dofterna mer påtagliga, inlevelsen starkare och stilen personligare.« | Ludvig Josephson, OBS i P1 »Den kusliga och hotfyllda känslan ringar in du Mauriers novellkonst. I mitt tycke lyckas hon i Fåglarna bättre än Hitchcock med att skapa en krypande oroskänsla som växer i takt med att fåglarna hopar sig, cirklar runt för att till sist gå till attack.« | Tobias Magnusson, Fria Tidningar»Väldigt, väldigt obehaglig och med snygga psykologiska effekter.« | Petras Bokblogg»Det här är en sån novell som aldrig helt kommer gå att skaka av sig.« | Marcus Regnander, Istället för bokcirkel, om Fåglarna»Daphne du Maurier skriver med en enastående fantasi, som gång på gång framkallar både skräck och medkänsla.« | The Observer
