RaveLibrary JournalAs wonderful as her novels are, [du Maurier] pushes her themes even further in her short stories and novellas ... Remarkable ... Du Maurier skillfully presents her main characters’ voices to readers without overruling their identities. Each tale has some twist towards the middle or end sure to take readers by surprise ... Stephen King’s appreciation/introduction to this edition is not to be missed ... Du Maurier’s stories have aged extraordinarily well and can still fill modern readers with dreadful unease. Libraries will not regret adding these tales to show patrons a different side to her writing.
RaveLibrary JournalElectric and appealing ... Martins offers a powerfully resonant examination of modernity. Sanches’s translation matches Martins’s strong rhythm and is full of vivid prose ... Highly recommended for readers of modern literature and particularly for readers who appreciate the art of translation.
