The greatest ghost story in the English language, Henry James' The
Turn of the Screw is a hauntingly atmospheric tale of supernatural
events.
A young governess takes over the charge of two orphaned siblings, Miles
and Flora, in a large, isolated country house. Unguided and almost
entirely alone, the governess attempts to bring normality and joy into
the children's lives but quickly comes to believe that something
sinister is threatening her new charges. Is an intruder lurking within
the house's grounds or could a more malevolent, ghostly force be behind
the terrifying events at Bly Manor?
Originally published in 1898, The Turn of the Screw remains an
excellent exploration of human psychology and is known as a masterful
example of the written ghost story. This spine-chilling novella is
perfect for fans of classic horror fiction, or those with an interest in
the work of Henry James.
