The Turn of the Screw and Other Stories is a collection of haunting and psychologically complex tales by Henry James. The titular novella, The Turn of the Screw, is one of the most famous ghost stories in English literature, exploring themes of innocence, perception, and the supernatural. A young governess is sent to care for two orphaned children at a remote English estate, only to become convinced that malevolent spirits are influencing them. As the narrative unfolds, James masterfully blurs the line between psychological disturbance and genuine supernatural horror, leaving readers questioning what is real and what is imagined.
