The Doll: Short Stories

`I want to know if men realise when they are insane. Sometimes I think that my brain cannot hold together, it is filled with too much horror – too much despair …I cannot sleep, I cannot close my eyes without seeing his damned face. If only it had been a dream.` In `The Doll`, a waterlogged notebook is washed ashore. Its pages tell a dark story of obsession and jealousy. But the fate of its narrator is a mystery. Most of the stories in this haunting collection were written early in Daphne du Maurier`s career – when she was still in her early twenties – yet they display her mastery of atmosphere, tension and intrigue and reveal a cynicism far beyond her years.
