I’m a stickler for accuracy when it comes to Holmes :)<br /><br />Lazy Girl, Haha, yup, Hitchcock’s version is a lot sunnier than Du Maurier’s! Oh my gosh I can’t wait for you to read Rod Serling’s stories! They’re the same as the episodes he wrote, so if you’re really familiar with the show then they wont’ be new to you but they’re still fun to read.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-17886087251416467752011-04-17T23:31:07.307-04:002011-04-17T23:31:07.307-04:00Omgosh!

It's my Dad's fav movie so I'll have to get him in on it too! <br /><br />I am squealing in delight at this amazing post. Had no idea Rod Sterling wrote short stories. I've discovered that I'm a huge fan of dystopia so I will run, not walk, to the library and try to check some of his stuff out. <br /><br />Thanks for this AWESOME post!La Toyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837173119599366968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-57770284418226780512011-04-14T21:04:31.471-04:002011-04-14T21:04:31.471-04:00Yep, that's the one.

Sherlock Holmes would totally be one of my desert island books! <br /><br />Missie, Yay for Bradbury! Haha, I know, I cry a little whenever I’m reminded Sherlock Holmes isn’t actually real. :( I only found out about The Birds, um…a year ago? Something like that. So don’t feel too bad :) But, ok, I’m going to guilt you about not having read Sherlock Holmes stores. I’m book pusher-ing The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes onto you. Go, read! :) <br /><br />Bookish Hobbit, I really need to read him already! I even took one of his books out of the library, but then I had to return it before I could ready any. <br /><br />Logan, No, I haven't seen that show. Is that the one set in modern times? I'm glad to see I'm not the only one swooning over him!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-89578250388782295332011-04-14T18:55:55.851-04:002011-04-14T18:55:55.851-04:00I am not usually a fan of short fiction, but I'...I am not usually a fan of short fiction, but I'll read anything with Sherlock Holmes in it. SWOON. Did you see the BBC miniseries from a year or so ago? They just aired them on PBS, and the actor who plays Holmes is so hot I want to marry him and commit bigamy. It's probably available on DVD by now. MUST SEE.Logan E.

Sherlock Holmes wasn't a real person? *sobs* I actually haven't read any of the short stories, but they carry such a presence that you can't not know about them. <br /><br />How did I know know about The Birds? Really Missie? And all this time, I thought myself a Daphne du Maurier fan. *be's full of fail* <br /><br />This is why it is sooooo good to know your local librarian. ;)<br /><br />Great compilation.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-35407346025039019112011-04-14T01:27:35.122-04:002011-04-14T01:27:35.122-04:00I'm not much of a short story reader but I def...I'm not much of a short story reader but I definitely concur with Sherlock Holmes (one of my desert island books) and Poe, especially his ratiocination stories. I'm intrigued by your description of du Maurier's stories but also kind of frightened now; sounds much darker than Rebecca.The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.com
