THE BIRDS AND OTHER STORIES

Daphne du Maurier's masterwork of psychological horror and suspense, The Birds, captures the terror of ordinary life disrupted by an inexplicable natural catastrophe. This collection pairs that celebrated tale with five additional stories that explore themes of alienation, the uncanny, and humanity's precarious place in the world. From the deceptive promise of eternal youth in Monte Verità to the haunting presence of a wronged woman, each narrative unsettles our assumptions about safety and control. Du Maurier's unflinching prose reveals the darkness lurking beneath the surface of everyday existence.
