About the author
Alfred Hitchcock
1,146 books777 followersSir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock KBE (1899-1980) was an iconic and highly influential film director and producer, who pioneered many techniques in the suspense and thriller genres.
Following a very substantial career in his native Britain in both silent films and talkies, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood and became an American citizen with dual nationality in 1956, thus he also remained a British subject.
Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films in a career which spanned six decades, from the silent film era, through the invention of sound films, and far into the era of colour films. For a complete list of his films, see Alfred Hitchcock filmography.
Hitchcock was among the most consistently recognizable directors to the general public, and was one of the most successful film directors during his lifetime. He continues to be one of the best known and most popular filmmakers of all time.

Another fun collection in the Hitchcock books. This has a very eclectic mix of supernatural sci-fi tales and more routine tales of crime. The main story is The Fly by George Langelaan, made into a couple of good films. Also another sci-fi tale is by Jerome Bixby called It's A Good Life which was turned into a solid Twilight Zone episode. Bret Halliday and Henry Slesar have tales that are fixed in the real which are also fun.
Highly recommended, again a nice mix in the collection. For people like me going to point out that this is the same collection (like it says on the cover but I'm an idiot) as More Stories For Late At Night. I ended up with a copy of that as well while buying these up in used shops.
