About this book
This collection gathers the short fiction of Daphne du Maurier, the English writer celebrated for suspense and unease hidden beneath ordinary surfaces. Her early stories already carry the instinct that would make her novels famous: quiet lives tilting toward menace, secrets kept and then exposed, and people undone by their own longings. Written as she was finding her voice, they move through soured romance, sharp social observation, and the small cruelties that pass between husbands, wives, and strangers. Even here she is alert to atmosphere and to the distance between what a character shows and what they conceal, which gives the pieces a tension out of proportion to their length. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available.
