Gothic and yet sleekly modern, Daphne du Maurier's suspense stories are edgily charged with uncanny circumstances, twisted characters, and romance gone awry. But crafted as they are from du Maurier's lithe prose, the stories are often as enlivening as they are gripping. The Doll includes thirteen short works written before the author was twenty-three years old. It's a collection to be read as much for its early examples of du Maurier's dark imagination and celebrated style as for the goose bumps it delivers.
