Beschrijving

Originally appearing in serial format just before the turn of the twentieth century, The Turn of the Screw is considered a classic of Gothic fiction. Critically acclaimed for its ability to create a sense of confusion and an atmosphere of suspense in the reader, the story focuses on a governess caring for two children at a remote country estate who becomes convinced that the grounds are haunted. With so many works since drawing on the themes explored by Henry James in this novella, this is an absolute must-read for any fan of the paranormal.

Beschrijving

A very young woman’s first job: governess for two weirdly beautiful, strangely distant, oddly silent children, Miles and Flora, at a forlorn estate…An estate haunted by a beckoning evil.Half-seen figures who glare from dark towers and dusty windows- silent, foul phantoms who, day by day, night by night, come closer, ever closer. With growing horror, the helpless governess realizes the fiendish creatures want the children, seeking to corrupt their bodies, possess their minds, own their souls…But worse-much worse- the governess discovers that Miles and Flora have no terror of the lurking evil.
