Description
A chilling ghost story, The Turn of the Screw is a masterful tale of haunting atmosphere and unbearable tension. Henry James's novella tells the story of a young governess sent to care for two orphans, only to discover a dark presence lurking in the shadows. As she struggles to protect her charges, she begins to question whether the threat is truly supernatural or something more sinister. The ambiguity of James's work is expertly examined in this Penguin Classics edition, which includes a chronology, further reading, notes, and an introduction by David Bromwich. This authoritative text provides a nuanced understanding of the novella's dark and complex themes. With its influence evident in films such as The Innocents and The Others, The Turn of the Screw remains a gripping and unsettling read, perfect for those who enjoy a good ghost story.
