The first two short stories here are fantastic, very atmospheric and memorable. Though I can’t say the same for the others, hence the 3 star rating

A collection on of five short stories. I’d like to give my thoughts on each story at a later time, but overall I really enjoyed Daphne du Mauier’s writing. Her characters are all lifelike, her settings are atmospheric, her stories unsettling. I will definitely be reading more of her work. My favorite of this collection was either Don’t Look Now or The Breakthrough.

individual stories are pretty good but eventually got boring as a collection

Nb we only read Don’t Look Now, but just that book not showing on Storygraph.
We found it suitably spooky/scary.
Some had read before, most not.
