Even the ending.

It’s an older book, and I can’t vouch for the ending as I haven’t read it yet, but it sounded so good I went out and hunted down a copy so I could have it to read as a treat for a day when I’m needing something Wonderful.

It’s my favourite du Maurier novel. And I’ll add my rec to the ones above for The Haunting of Maddy Clare. I read it in uncorrected proofs and really liked it–it has a great Dorothy L. Sayers meets Shirley Jackson vibe, and great characters.

I’ve got a couple of new books to check out as a result. I’m not a big horror reader so my recommendations might be better for people who prefer lighter/funnier reads but I’ve put the following on a list of recommended Halloween reads:
A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb (ghosts)
Souless by Gail Carriger (all manner of beasties)
Repossessed by AM Jenkins (demon/fallen angel)

I avoided it for years because I thought it took place in Jamaica, which didn’t sound like a very gothicy setting–but it’s actually set on the bleak English moors.
