A landmark collection of psychological horror and suspense, The Birds and Other Stories gathers some of Daphne du Maurier's most celebrated and chilling short fiction.

Each story in this masterful collection uncovers the dark undercurrent beneath ordinary life, presenting characters thrust into situations of mounting dread and paranoia. Du Maurier writes with a cool, precise authority that makes the supernatural feel disturbingly inevitable, cementing her reputation as one of the great architects of modern gothic fiction.
