Oh gosh, Jim...Daphne du Maurier! I have a bookhere (somewhere in my completely disorganized house) that used tobelong to my mother...she was an avid reader herself...and it was acollection of short stories by Daphne du Maurier. It's called "Kiss MeAgain, Stranger" (which is also one of the stories in the book). Ican't recall all of the stories in it now, but do remember that one ofthe stories it contained was "The Birds". (Just as creepy asHitchcock's movie version!) Now I have to try and find that book so Ican re-read it (it's been years since I read it the first time).
I love du Maurier's writing..."The House On The Strand" sounds riveting! Will have to see if I can get a copy of that too...
***And another book to add to my list again:
Earth Abides (George Stewart)
It's a sci-fi story about a man who is alone on a hiking trip in themountains - temporarily cut off from the outside world - and doesn'trealize that while he is gone a deadly virus has struck civilization.Within days it has wiped out almost the entire population of theplanet; there are only a handful of survivors, including the maincharacter...the story follows him as he slowly discover others likehim...and how they adapt to the new world.
