About the author

Sir 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.

12 relatos seleccionados por Hitchcock, autores para nada conocidos, el mejor de todos "El pasado muerto" de Al Nussbaum: Un rico empresario muda de lugar el féretro de su hermana fallecida hace 50 años, la verdad de lo ocurrido se revela ante él.
Buena antología.

[Mimi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really strong collection of stories. Lots of short and solid noir, mystery, and thrillers here, some on the sea, in hotels, on dark and winding roads, including some that I found genuinely spooky ! Even had a story with female characters only, surprisingly. Worth finding a copy if you're a fan of Hitchcock, noir, or '50s-early '60s tales.

Irregular, cómo todo libro de relatos, sin embargo, para mí destacan: el hobby de la señora (por divertido), y siete son la muerte, la muerte de Sadie, pero sobretodo Sólo una pequeña broma pesada, principalmente por cómo está escrito!!

[Nacho Cuadrado · Rating 4 out of 5]

Police style stories; some with doses of drama and suspense, others show flashes of terror. But in general they form a pleasant book and entertaining reading.

I must admit the stories of this book were not as good as I expected. And I am a big fan of these kind of Hitchcock books.
