The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a classic gothic novella that explores psychological tension and supernatural ambiguity. Set in a remote English country estate, the story follows a young governess who is hired to care for two orphaned children, Miles and Flora. As strange and unsettling events begin to unfold, she becomes convinced that the estate is haunted by malevolent spirits, particularly those of a former governess, Miss Jessel, and a valet, Peter Quint.
James masterfully weaves an eerie atmosphere of uncertainty, leaving the reader questioning whether the hauntings are real or a projection of the governess's unstable mind. The novella delves into themes of innocence, morality, and the terrifying power of the unknown.
This illustrated edition enriches the haunting experience, providing a visual complement to James's chilling prose.
