My Impressions: I picked up this lurid-looking book quickly at a library book sale right before the Lockdown, in anticipation of Daphne du Maurier Reading Week, a celebration of the life and work of Daphne du Maurier, organized by Heaven-Ali. I thought it must be a lesser-known title like her dystopian novel, Rule Britannia, which I always forget. Imagine my surprise when I examined it last night and saw it was “a Collection of Eight Stories, Long and Short,” including the short story that spawned a million nightmares, The Birds. I now realize her short stories been published under different titles. As most of my reading takes place late at night, I wasn’t sure reading The Birds was really in my best interest so I started by reading around it and enjoyed the other stories.
