About the book

Are the ghosts real—or is the governess losing her mind?


The Turn of the Screw is Henry James's masterful tale of psychological suspense, haunting ambiguity, and Gothic horror. A governess is hired to care for two orphaned children at a remote English estate—but soon becomes convinced that malevolent spirits are watching her every move.


A lonely estate. Two beautiful children. And something terribly wrong.

As the governess grows increasingly obsessed with protecting the children from ghostly figures, her sanity—and the truth—begin to unravel. Are the ghosts manipulating the children? Or is the danger far more human… and far more disturbing?


A terrifying classic wrapped in elegant prose.

Published in 1898, The Turn of the Screw is one of the most influential ghost stories ever written. With its layers of meaning and chilling ambiguity, it invites readers to question every detail—and come to their own terrifying conclusions.
