The infamous first line, "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again," takes us back to the protagonist's journey in the estate, which we learn has been burned down. Rebecca begins with the protagonist and her husband, Maximilian "Maxim" de Winter, traveling from hotel to hotel in Europe. Ready to find out more about the classic story? Keep reading if you dare (and if you're not afraid of spoilers!). I was so excited for the upcoming spooky fare of the movie that I decided to prepare by reading The Folio Society's special edition of the book, an illustrated volume with a gorgeous, otherworldly blood-red cover design and an introduction that speaks to the book's exploration of class, the patriarchy, and retribution, and even its relation to queer lit. If you're not familiar with the book, Rebecca is a psychological thriller that will make the perfect foreboding addition to your Halloween movie marathon. 21, Netflix will release Rebecca, starring Lily James and Armie Hammer, based on the novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier (it was also adapted for the screen by none other than Alfred Hitchcock in 1940). Love romantic dramas with an eerie, even sinister twist? On Oct.
