INTRODUCED BY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER STEPHEN KING

A STUNNING NEW HARDBACK COLLECTION OF DAPHNE DU MAURIER'S THIRTEEN DARKEST STORIES - INCLUDING 'THE BIRDS' AND 'DON'T LOOK NOW'

Amid the reflections and twisting alleyways of Venice, a grieving couple are haunted by the past. On a sharp December day, the wind changes - and the birds begin to gather. A group of wartime scientists attempt to capture the power of death, an eye operation reveals a monstrous reality, and a woman returns home to find she doesn't exist.

From murderous desires to supernatural forces, du Maurier's masterful short stories stare into the dark heart of our relationships: between men and women, humanity and nature, love and obsession, the future and the past. Whatever you do, don't look now . . .
