Don't Look Now
I'm generally not a fan of short stories, but these are self-sufficient in a good way; and they're long enough for me to settle in - fifty pages on average in this copy!

I knew of du Maurier from Rebecca but have never read anything - and kind of assumed she was in this midcentury New York group of writers that I never really enjoy. But a friend mentioned liking her as a writer and I picked up this collection of short stories. Within the first few pages it was clear: she's great. And by the end of the first story, which is appropriately creepy for October, I ran over to Trudy and recounted the tale like it was a campfire ghost story.
