by Daphne DuMaurier This is a Classic written in 1938 that has the poetic feeling of stories written in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The story starts out with a tone of remembrance about a place called Manderley. You can hear a sadness in the 'voice' of the first person narrator, even without ...
Considered by some to be Daphne Du Maurier's most feminist novel, "My Cousin Rachel" follows the story of wealthy orphan Philip Ashley, and his two cousins - Ambrose and Rachel.Due to health, Ambrose spends his winters in warmer climates, leaving his cousin (young adult, Philip) in charge of his vas...
This book has been described as gothic, and also as romantic suspense and mystery. It has elements of literary fiction was well in its deep interiority. I read it for the first time decades ago, when I was fifteen. Reading it again, I realized I’d held it unconsciously in the back of my mind as the ...
So this to me is not a typical Daphne du Maurier novel. There are hints of some Gothic elements here and there with a curse being flung about. But other than that, du Maurier just follows along following five generations of the Brodrick family from 1820 to 1920 following five of the male characters ...

Oh, this book. This book is crazy, intriguing, compelling, disturbing and unaccountable. I feel like maybe I should just turn right around and read it again because I have NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. Dayum, can Daphne du Maurier tell stories or what. I think that this was actually better than...
There are six stories in this volume and they all work on that eerie maybe-normal-maybe-fantastical/grothesque/horror line. The Birds is excellent at suspense and the daily made unnerving. And it leaves you there. Monte Veritá reads almost like one of those non-Cthulthu's Lovecraftian tales. I r...
Eine sehr gute Kurzgeschichte, die aber mir persönlich wie viele Erzählungen dieses Typs einfach zu kurz ist. Das abrupte, offene Ende hat mich nicht begeistert. Ansonsten war ich sehr angetan: die Grundidee ist schon mal grandios (á la die Natur schlägt zurück), die großartigen plastischen, gruseli...
