***

On a sharp December day, the wind changes - and the birds begin to gather.
In the twisting alleyways of Venice, a grieving couple catch a glimpse of their lost child.
A woman returns home to find no trace of her existence.

From the inimitable imagination of Daphne du Maurier, these thirteen stories pierce to the dark heart of our relationships: between men and women, humanity and nature, love and obsession, the future and the past. Uncanny, provocative and spine-crawlingly terrifying, these tales will keep you up long after midnight. Whatever you do, don't look now . . .
