Аннотация:
«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. Many of the stories in this haunting collection have only recently been discovered. Most were written early in Daphne du Maurier's career, yet they display her mastery of atmosphere, tension and intrigue and reveal a cynicism far beyond her years.»
