A cornerstone of Gothic horror literature, The Turn of the Screw chronicles the harrowing experience of a young governess sent to a remote English country estate to care for two orphaned children, Miles and Flora. What begins as an idyllic appointment swiftly unravels into a psychological nightmare as the governess becomes convinced the grounds are haunted by the ghosts of two former servants — the sinister Peter Quint and the late Miss Jessel. Henry James masterfully constructs an atmosphere of creeping dread and moral ambiguity, leaving readers to question whether the supernatural threat is real or a terrifying product of the governess's fractured mind. First published in 1898, the novella remains one of the most debated and unsettling works in the English literary canon, a testament to James's genius for psychological tension and narrative restraint.
