The Turn of the Screw

In a remote English country house, a young governess begins to sense a presence she cannot explain.

Charged with caring for two angelic children, she soon discovers that beauty and innocence may hide unspeakable secrets. As ghostly figures return from a dark past, reality blurs into dread, and every glance, whisper, and silence becomes a clue in a terrifying puzzle she must face alone.

A masterpiece of psychological tension and haunting ambiguity, The Turn of the Screw remains one of Henry James's most chilling and provocative tales—an enduring classic that invites readers to question what is seen, what is feared, and what is true.

Henry James (1843–1916) was an American-born writer whose nuanced, psychologically rich fiction made him one of the most influential authors of the modern era. Known for classics such as The Portrait of a Lady and the haunting The Turn of the Screw, James crafted elegant, layered stories exploring identity, perception, and the mysteries of human behavior. His work continues to shape literature more than a century after its publication.
