The Turn of the Screw

👻 Are the ghosts real—or is the terror all in her mind? 👻

Henry James's The Turn of the Screw is one of the most haunting and psychologically complex ghost stories ever written—a masterpiece of ambiguity, suspense, and moral unease.

A young governess is hired to care for two orphaned children at a remote English country estate called Bly. But when she begins to see mysterious figures on the grounds, she becomes convinced that the spirits of the former servants—Peter Quint and Miss Jessel—are haunting the children. As her fear and obsession grow, reality blurs into nightmare, and readers are left to question whether she is saving the children from evil—or succumbing to madness herself.

With its elegant prose and unsettling atmosphere, The Turn of the Screw remains a landmark of Gothic fiction and psychological horror. Henry James masterfully crafts a story that invites endless interpretation, blending themes of innocence, repression, and the power of the imagination.

Hailed as one of the greatest ghost stories in English literature, this novella continues to captivate readers and critics alike, inspiring countless adaptations in film, theatre, and television.
