Selected Stories of Daphne du Maurier

Classic horror stories by one of masters of the form. Full of bone-chilling tales, this collection includes "The Birds," the basis for the Alfred Hitchcock film of the same title, and other creepy classics. 

Daphne du Maurier wrote some of the most compelling and creepy novels of the twentieth century. In books like Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and Jamaica Inn she transformed the small dramas of everyday life--love, grief, jealousy--into the stuff of nightmares. Less known, though no less powerful, are her short stories, in which she gave free rein to her imagination in narratives of unflagging suspense.

Patrick McGrath's revelatory new selection of du Maurier's stories shows her at her most chilling and most psychologically astute: a dead child reappears in the alleyways of Venice; routine eye surgery reveals the beast within to a meek housewife; nature revolts against man's abuse by turning a benign species into an annihilating force; a dalliance with a beautiful stranger offers something more dangerous than a broken heart. McGrath draws on the whole of du Maurier's long career and includes surprising discoveries together with famous stories like "The Birds." Don't Look Now is a perfect introduction to a peerless storyteller.

In a seedy river town on the Gulf of Honduras, Jack Rathbone believed he had found a place that would give him and his lover, the accomplished artist Vera Savage, the solitude they would need to create a body of work that would shake the art world to its core. But in a place where time lies thicker than the mangrove swamps that surround it, Jack and Vera discover an emotional frontier more fearsome, untamed, and dangerous than any wilderness.Told through the voice of Jack’s adoring sister, Gin, Port Mungo is the riveting story of this ill-fated couple, one that begins as a bohemian flight-of-fancy before unraveling into a dark, debauched and sinister tale. With Port Mungo, the incomparable Patrick McGrath, author of the acclaimed novels Spider and Asylum, delivers a spellbinding narrative to explore the obsessive pursuit of art and love.

Port Mungo

Modern Science Refutes Atheism

If you think modern science disproves the Bible, you have been misled. Genesis Chapter 1 is literally true, if you don't take the wrong word literally. "Let there be light" was not idle poetry. That ancient declaration correctly identified the first step in the origin of our universe. When interpreted according to 'day-age' theology, the step-wise process of Genesis Chapter 1 is fully confirmed by modern science. In this unique summary of 20th century science, Dr. McGrath bridges the gap between the scientific elite and the non-scientist. Even non-scientists will enjoy his unique summary of the interface between faith and science. The reader will be treated to a working knowledge of Einstein's theory of relativity, complete with time dilation, length contraction, and the conversion of energy into matter. Through these details, we come to understand that science really does not argue against God. Modern science actually refutes atheism. The truth is that "Energy is, therefore God could be."
