A stunning new collection of thirteen chilling stories by the iconic author of Rebecca, introduced by Stephen King

In the twisting alleyways of Venice, a grieving couple catch a glimpse of their lost child.
A woman wakes from an eye operation into a monstrous new reality.
On a sharp winter day, the wind changes - and the birds begin to gather.

From murderous desires to supernatural forces, du Maurier's uncanny, provocative and spine-crawlingly terrifying 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 . . .
