An unnamed young governess is sent to a country house to take charge of two orphans Miles and
Flora. Yet she is soon oppressed by a sense of foreboding and deep disquiet becoming convinced
that something dark is threatening her young charges. But are supernatural forces at work or
is the danger something altogether more earthly? Henry James's masterpiece and widely
considered to be the greatest ghost story ever written The Turn of the Screw remains the
apogee of suspenseful haunting writing in the English language.
