About this listen

Including the brilliantly frightening short story that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece, this collection from the author of Rebecca is a classic work of alienation and horror.

The chilling stories in this collection echo a sense of dislocation and mock man's dominance over the natural world. A mountain paradise promises immortality, but at a terrible price; a neglected wife haunts her husband in the form of an apple tree; a professional photographer steps out from behind the camera and into his subject's life; a date with a cinema usherette leads to a walk in the cemetery; and a jealous father finds a remedy when three's a crowd ...

"Continually provokes both pity and terror ... Anyone starting this book under the impression that he may sleepily relax is in for a shock." —The Observer (UK)
