These short stories are intense. I have read and loved du Maurier‘s novels, but I had no idea she had written short stories or that they would scare the bejesus out of me. It‘s a subtle kind of spine tingling scare. You shudder and kind of look over your shoulder. They are so good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘ve only read the short story, The Birds, but it is ten times scarier than the Hitchcock movie. It has a different slant and fills the imagination with all kinds of horrible possibilities. Well worth the read. On to the rest. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m actually ornithophobic so I took a gamble with this one — I‘ve never seen the film adaptation. It was as scary as I feared but in a great way. Birds can be terrifying, okay? 😖😹 #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

I really enjoyed this short story. The audio was very atmospheric with the music and sound effects. Great classic story that was a great palate cleanser.

So very much looking forward to #CreepyChristmas with @teebe ☠️ 1. The Birds by Daphne du Maurier ☠️ 2. It is the mundane reality of the horror (in the book version, not the film) a family under siege and a father desperate to keep them safe from a danger that cannot be reasoned with. ☠️ 3. My #UnpopularOpinion is that the written word is far scarier than any film. ☠️ 4. Ghosts ☠️ 5. At Christmas time, decorative toadstools 🍄!!

Cathythoughts I have this one stacked ... I thought the film very scary.... looking forward to the written word 😱👍🏻 4y
Chrissyreadit I was terrified from the movie when I was very young- and birds roosted on our apt ledges. But I have never read the book and think I must! 4y
LeahBergen I feel like rereading The Birds now! 🐦 4y
veritysalter @LeahBergen I am totally spellbound when I read du Maurier, she creates such an atmosphere of dread. 4y
