The Turn of the Screw
A young governess at a lonely country house becomes convinced that two ghosts are preying on the beautiful children in her care, or that the horror is entirely her own. The most argued-over ghost story ever written.
No companion available yet.
A short, chilling masterclass in ambiguity that rewired the ghost story. You finish it certain of what happened, and no two readers agree.
SettingAn English country house, 1890s
A remote Victorian estate where a governess’s isolation and repression curdle into terror, real or imagined.
