Status Updates From Kiss Me Again, Stranger

Has du Maurier become my new fave fiction author of 2025?

The Birds ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I didn't know it was a short story! And so much better than the movie version. The uncertainty and feeling of dread *chefs kiss*

Kiss me again, stranger ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That took an unexpected turn. I mean the woman was acting strange but... okey.

“This shell in which I had my being moved forward without feeling, drawn to the summit of the mountain by some nameless force which seemed to hold suction from the moon itself. I was impelled, like the flow and ebb of tide upon water. I could not disobey the law that urged me on, any more than I could cease to breathe. This was not mountain fever in my blood, but mountain magic.”
