I wasn’t expecting a dramatization when I borrowed this audio book but I was very impressed by the actors. The horror and tension was all the more real with the sound of flapping bird wings to accompany the dialogue. I feel like I should rent and read the whole short story collection now

Chilling, haunting and oh-so-forbidden to the eyes of a 10 year old sneaking it off of her mommy's bookshelf! Such a suspenseful book, no wonder Hitchcock made a movie out of it!
