Henry James's The Turn of the Screw is a masterwork of psychological horror and literary ambiguity. First published in 1898, this Gothic novella remains one of the most influential ghost stories of all time.
In this modernized adaptation, a young governess takes charge of two children at the isolated Bly estate. At first, the setting appears peaceful-idyllic, even. But strange figures begin appearing on the grounds, and the governess becomes convinced that the ghosts of past servants are trying to possess the children. Are the ghosts real? Or is it all in her mind? James never reveals the answer, crafting a tale where every sentence builds tension, doubt, and dread.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
Is the governess a hero-or the real threat? The Turn of the Screw will keep you turning pages and questioning everything.
