After Midnight: Thirteen Chilling Tales for the Dark Hours
Synopsis
Introduced by Stephen King, A stunning new hardback collection of Daphne Du Maurier's darkest stories.
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 . . .
This brand new collection brings together thirteen of du Maurier's greatest uncanny stories for the first time - including 'The Birds' and 'Don't Look Now'.
