A new edition of a Gothic novella which has inspired many horror and psychological thrillers
since its publication. This new edition of The Turn of the Screw offers students the definitive
text and extensive appendices. 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 menacing 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.
