One of the many short story collections with Hitchcock's name attached. Some good ones and some great ones here including the inspiration for Hitchcock's own film, "The Birds" from the story by Daphne du Maurier.

Read it as a kid from the library. Lots of good classic stories in here (one or two clunkers).

This was a very important book in my childhood . I read it in the 4th grade , and it showed me that there was more to horror than just Edgar Allan Poe . Four stories in particular stand out among my favorites of all time and introduced me to their authors whom I immediately began to collect . " The Most Dangerous Game " by Richard Connell , " Man From the South " by Roald Dahl , " Yours Truly , Jack the Ripper " by Robert Bloch , and " The Birds " by Daphne du Maurier .

What a great experience. I initially bought this book to read Daphne du Maurier's The Birds (its adaptation by Hitchcock is one I really love) but stories by Agatha Christie, Roald Dahl and Robert Bloch were a happy bonus. The Most Dangerous Game was fascinating and P. Moran, Diamond-Hunter was very funny.

Could not finish. Each story was more boring than the last.
