![]() This is the Avon paperback edition of the book originally published by Doubleday in hardcover in 1976.įilled with disquiet and unease, creeping doubt and slow-dawning horror - a du Maurier trademark - these stories of the uncanny share other similarities than just quietness. They are richly rewarding in their own right, however, as are the other half-dozen works here, all originally published in various hardcover editions in the '50s and '70s. ![]() Yes, each story is the basis for the respective movies of the same name. This collection from Daphne du Maurier, most famous for penning Rebecca (1938), contains her two most famous long tales, "Don't Look Now" (1971) and "The Birds" (1952). "Tales of quiet terror" is the descriptor on the cover of Echoes from the Macabre, and it's perfectly correct. ![]()
