The Turn of the Screw

A frightening ghost story that's become a cornerstone of gothic fiction.
A man hires a governess to care for his niece, Flora, and nephew, Miles. The man wants nothing to do with the children and leaves their care entirely to the governess. But when two ghosts appear in the family home and seem to carry sway over the children, the governess is unmoored and unsure how to protect them. Are the children innocent? Or does something wicked in them call out to the phantoms?
This brilliant Henry James novella pressed against the Victorian norms of its time to become a cerebral classic.
