Book Description:

The Turn of the Screw is Henry James’s enigmatic and unsettling masterpiece of psychological horror. Told through the eyes of a young governess, the novella follows her arrival at a remote English estate to care for two orphaned children, Flora and Miles. But soon, strange apparitions begin to appear — and the governess becomes convinced that malevolent spirits are haunting the children.

As her fears grow and reality becomes uncertain, readers are left to question: are the ghosts real, or is the danger coming from within? With its eerie ambiguity and layered narrative, The Turn of the Screw is a chilling exploration of innocence, repression, and the terrifying power of the mind.
