內容簡介: |
''I want to know if men realise when they are insane.
Sometimes I think that my brain cannot hold together, it is filled
with too much horror - too much despair ...I cannot sleep, I cannot
close my eyes without seeing his damned face. If only it had been a
dream.'' In ''The Doll'', a waterlogged notebook is washed ashore. Its
pages tell a dark story of obsession and jealousy. But the fate of
its narrator is a mystery. Many of the stories in this haunting
collection have only recently been discovered. Most were written
early in Daphne du Maurier''s career, yet they display her mastery
of atmosphere, tension and intrigue and reveal a cynicism far
beyond her years.
