    About this ebook

    Following the death of their young daughter, John and Laura visit Venice to try and escape their grief. But when the couple meet two aged sisters, one of whom claims to have psychic visions of the dead girl, strange things start to happen.


    Filmed in 1973 with Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, Daphne du Maurier's classic thriller starts as a moving examination of grief but gradually becomes a chilling tale with a dark and terrifying climax.


    This adaptation of Don't Look Now premiered in 2007 at the Sheffield Lyceum with a transfer to the Lyric Hammersmith.

    Daphne Du Maurier

    Daphne du Maurier (1907–1989) has been called one of the great shapers of popular culture and the modern imagination. Among her more famous works are The Scapegoat, Jamaica Inn, Rebecca, and the short story "The Birds," all of which were subsequently made into films—the latter three directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

      A word of caution: Do not confuse this book, Don't Look Now and Other Stories with Don't Look Now: Selected Stories of Daphne Du Maurier. They are not the same book. The only things they have in common are the the title story and the author. Both books are fine, mind you, but if you are participating in a group discussion and the stories you are reading aren't the same as what everyone else is reading, you will likely feel left out in the cold. That said, this is a fine collection of stories by an exceptional author. I really enjoyed her writing style and the the way that she was able to bring various settings around the world to life. That said, I don't think any of the stories really hit it out of the park. Maybe I expect more from the author of Rebecca and Jamaica Inn but I felt like she set up several of the stories for a big finish and then....they just ended. I award this anthology ★★★½ stars out of five although at least half a star is awarded out of respect for Dame Daphne.My thanks to the folks at the Goodreads Horror Aficionados group for giving me the opportunity to read and discuss this and many other fine books.

      Five stories that were classic DuMaurier. Each one as mysterious as the next, two of them had been made into movies in the '70's. Very enjoyable! :)

      Mine is the Folio Society edition, which is different to two of the three reviews below (but the same as 'overthemoon's)What can I say. Absolutely riveting read - I got through 300 pages in just two days, and at times could not put the book down. All the tales have a twist in them, some bordering on horror, others - if not most of them - supernatural.If you have the same edition as me, don't read the introduction first - it is really full of spoilers!

      Five strange short stories. My favorite was the first one and the least favorite was the third one. The ending on the third story left a lot of questions unanswered. Interesting stories and a good read.

      John and Laura met two strange women. They are sisters. they can see John's daughter but she have already died. As the story was moving, it puzzled me a lot. The end of story was different from what I have expected.
