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.

@HillaryKelly Siri Hustvedt’s “What I Loved” @flynnberry_’s “Under the Harrow” David Wroblewski’s “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” Daphne Du Maurier’s “Rebecca”
It's perfectly written, the suspense in it comes gradually and hits you just at the right moment. It sort of builds up to a great courtroom scene, it has, you know, gothic elements in it ...
