By chance, John and Jean - one English, the other French - meet in a provincial railway station. Their resemblance to each other is uncanny, and they spend the next few hours talking and drinking - until at last John falls into a drunken stupor. It's to be his last carefree moment, for when he wakes, Jean has stolen his identity and disappeared. So the Englishman steps into the Frenchman's shoes, and faces a variety of perplexing roles.

The concoction wears off after several hours, but its effects are intoxicating and Dick cannot resist his newfound powers.

A classic of alienation and horror, The Birds was immortalized by Hitchcock in his celebrated film. The five other chilling stories in this collection echo a sense of dislocation and mock man's dominance over the natural world. The mountain paradise of "Monte Verità" promises immortality, but at a terrible price; a neglected wife haunts her husband in the form of an apple tree; a professional photographer steps out from behind the camera and into his subject's life.

Good collection with moments of brilliance

The one thing that all these stories have in common is that Dame Daphne does not hesitate to put her characters right in the midst of hell.

DON'T LOOK NOW is well known thanks to the Donald Sutherland - Julie Christie movie adaptation. Set in Venice, a couple looking for peace find anything but that in this tale of the paranormal, violence, and mystery.

NOT AFTER MIDNIGHT is, I think, the most creative story here. A school teacher and amateur painter looks forward to a vacation in Crete. He's working toward an exhibition and wants nothing more than to paint in solitude, but a loud-mouthed, swearing, drunken "ugly American" puts paid to that ambition. I absolutely loved this one. It has so many elements I love to see in a story.

A BORDERLINE CASE was disappointing. It is the lame story of a girl named Sheila who gets involved with something quite beyond her. Unlikely plot, unappealing characters.

THE WAY OF THE CROSS is an excellent satire. A group of Church of England pilgrims to the Holy Land are the focus of du Maurier's jaded eye. A wonderful mix of types and situations.

THE BREAKTHROUGH is an old school technological story that seems quaint today. An electronics electronics engineer finds himself in the midst of his most unusual work assignment to date when he is sent to an experimental group at a former radar station.

Recommended to du Maurier fans.

Thrilling - worth the listen

While there were audio issue (two recordings from 1989) it's worth a listen. Not scary but gives you the chills. The frights are all left unspoken.

Some terrific stories and some not so terrific

This author has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. Her character development - even in these short stories - is wonderful. The first story was spine chilling and I absolutely loved, same with the second and the last. The middle two stories I could have done without, but that's what you get with a compilation
of shorts. I would still recommend - some of the stories haunted me for days after!
