Occupation
Author
Description
Daphne du Maurier breathed new life into the conventions of the Gothic novel, creating gripping, atmospheric tales told in a spellbinding, neo-Gothic style that was all her own. Even her works in other genres (historical romances, family sagas, and time-slip stories) display Gothic elements: a strong sense of place, a foreboding atmosphere, the macabre, the preternatural, the "fallen" hero archetype, a malevolent villain, and an isolated protagonist. Her stories are all compulsively readable, and her convincing characters help the books appeal to both women and men. Start with: My Cousin Rachel
