The Turn of the Screw: A Governess, Two Children, and Ghosts No One Else Can See

She was hired to protect two children. She becomes convinced something dead is trying to reach them. A young governess arrives at a remote English estate to care for two strangely composed orphans — and soon becomes certain that the ghosts of two former servants are stalking the grounds, intent on corrupting the children in her care. As her certainty hardens into obsession, Henry James never lets the reader settle: is she uncovering a genuine haunting, or unraveling in front of us? The Turn of the Screw is the ghost story that redefined the genre — a masterclass in psychological ambiguity where the scariest thing on the page might be the narrator herself.
