"Don't Look Now" was pretty good...much better than the film.

Not After Midnight is a story I love. Reminded me of Robert Aickman.

Don't Look Now is one of the few films I like better than the story. Mind you, that might be because my dad let me watch it an an inappropriately young age... It was years before I saw it again, but that opening scene and the photograph 'bleeding' - the imagery haunted me for years.

Thanks dad!

I'm also reading the novella Monte Verita by Daphne du Maurier. I am enthralled.

I think much of her work is underrated - but maybe that's just me.

I just put up a review of _Don't Look Now: Selected Stories by Daphne DuMaurier with an introduction by Patrick McGrath_.
