'A most wonderful, lurid, poisonous little tale' Oscar WildeThe Turn of the Screw, James's great masterpiece of haunting atmosphere and unbearable tension, tells of a young governess sent to a country house to take charge of two orphans, Miles and Flora. Unsettled by a dark foreboding of menace within the house, she soon comes to believe that something, or someone, malevolent is stalking the children in her care. Is the threat to her young charges really a malign and ghostly presence, or a manifestation of something else entirely? Edited and with an Introduction and Notes by David Bromwich Series Editor: Philip Horne
 

Review

"Remarkably vivid and disquieting . . . Whether this beloved 19th-century novella retains the power to frighten you depends on the degree to which you've ever questioned your own senses or doubted your sanity. . . . A classic of Gothic literature, prized for its ambiguity and sophistication." --The New York Times
