Book Review:
Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw (1898) is a masterpiece of psychological horror. A young governess takes charge of two orphaned children, Miles and Flora, in a remote English country house. Soon she begins to see ghostly figures — a man and a woman — who she believes are corrupting the children. But are the ghosts real, or is the governess losing her mind? James famously left the story ambiguous, allowing two radically different readings. The result is a tense, terrifying, and brilliantly crafted tale that has haunted readers for over a century. This Penguin Popular Classics edition is complete and unabridged. Perfect for fans of subtle, intelligent horror. “What is he? He’s a horror!”
