The Birds and Other Stories by Daphne du Maurier
3.0
The writing and the audiobook narration for these stories is amazing!
And I am so glad to have finally read the source material for The Birds. It does such a great job building the anxiety and horror of the situation.
But... the other stories weren't really to my taste. Monte Verita was ok, but the other stories were mostly awful, shallow people being awful and shallow until a plot twist at the end. And none of the plot twists were good enough for me to appreciate the story for what it was.
