BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks omg so creepy and I legit forgot ad well, it‘s been 4 years since I read it and I forgot so much! 7mo
IndoorDame @TheAromaofBooks same!!! This scene never gets any less horrifying or unexpected! Really any of the scenes with Mrs. D. ! 7mo
TheBookHippie I‘ve no recollection of being this creepy although it‘s been a long time since I read it, but yikes. 7mo
daena The fact that Danvers lays it all out there with zero shame and a whole lot of obsessive crazy makes it that much more terrifying. It's like she has nothing left to lose because she's already lost Rebecca. 7mo
dabbe I remembered this scene because of the movie. If you‘ve never seen the 40s version, you should. The pic posted by @BarkingMadRead says it all. It won best picture in 1940, and Olivier, Fontaine, and Anderson (as Danvers) were all nominated for their acting roles. Judith Anderson is absolutely chilling as Danvers. 😱 7mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe I really want to watch this version! I‘m going to look for it once we are done@ 7mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead It's free on YouTube right now! 🤩 Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1uvgx3NUR0 7mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe amazing!! Thank you! 7mo
Bookwormjillk Another re-reader who had forgotten this chapter. I wonder if reading a chapter a day makes it more creepy. 7mo
Roary47 Ooo yay thank you @dabbe I thought today was the 19th and I read too far ahead. Ahhh tomorrow is epic and I cant tell anyone. 😭 Ms D needs to chill with her obsessive self. (edited) 7mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead 😘 7mo
dabbe @Roary47 😘 7mo
Aimeesue @dabbe whoohoo! Thanks for the link! 7mo
dabbe @Aimeesue 😘 7mo
dabbe To me, this feels like the climatic chapter, where the narrator is at her lowest point. Even though she starts of facing Danny, Danvers overwhelms her with her #rebeccarebeccarebecca crap, and Jan descends into darkness, even ready to jump and commit suicide. Then, BAM! A deus ex machina to break the trance of Rebecca with the explosion going off. If that hadn't happened, Jan would have jumped. But of course, there's more to the story ... 🤩 7mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Roary47 I read ahead to because tomorrow and the weekend is busy. It's definitely 😲 moment. 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe Ooh, thanks! I saved it to watch later—I don‘t want any spoilers! This chapter was sooooo creepy 😱 7mo
KAO @dabbe Thank you for the link to the film! Saving it for after I have finished the book! This is my first time to read Rebecca, so it‘s all new to me—and delightfully creepy at times. 7mo
julieclair This chapter was sooooo creepy, and so well written! DuMaurier was a master! Thanks for the link to the movie @dabbe. I have never seen it and totally want to watch it once we‘ve finished the book. 7mo
julieclair @Bookwormjillk I think you‘re right that reading one chapter a day intensifies all the feels. 7mo
dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly 😘 7mo
dabbe @KAO Yay! Isn't it fabulous? 🤩🤗😀 7mo
dabbe @julieclair 😘 7mo
ElizaMarie Wow!!!! I don‘t even know what to think. Jan is such a kind hearted innocent. I love how she finally tries to be grown up and then that Danny just ugh! Danny has all the evil pent up! She is so malicious! 7mo
5feet.of.fury Mrs D is out of her mind! 7mo
