Synopsis "Don't Look Now: Stories (New York Review Books Classics) "

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 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." Don't Look Now is a perfect introduction to a peerless storyteller.

View Author's Page
Nació en Londres en 1907, hija del actor y empresario Gerald du Maurier y nieta del autor e ilustrador George du Maurier. Educada en familia y más tarde en París, empezó escribiendo cuentos y artículos en 1928 y en 1931 publicó su primera novela, Espíritu de amor. El éxito de Rebeca (1938), su tercera novela, enseguida adaptada al cine por Alfred Hitchcock, le dio fama mundial, y a partir de entonces se convertiría en una de las novelistas más populares del siglo XX. Entre sus otras obras, muchas de ellas llevadas también al cine, cabe mencionar La posada Jamaica (1937; Rara Avis núm. 37), El río del Francés (1941; Rara Avis núm. 42), Monte Bravo (1943), Los parásitos (1949), Mi prima Rachel (1951; Rara Avis núm. 32), Los pájaros (relato incluido en la colección The Apple Tree, 1952), Mary Anne (1954), El chivo expiatorio (1957; Rara avis núm. 49) y La Casa de la Orilla (1969). También escribió teatro y biografías. Vivió la mayor parte de su vida en Cornualles, donde se ambientan muchas de sus novelas. Allí murió en 1989.
