"The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James. Part 1 (of 3) | Last Gasp of the Gothic

The ceremony of innocence is drowned in this, most ambiguous ghostly novella from 1898 by renowned Anglo-American writer Henry James.

A governess is given charge of two young children in the countryside manor of Bly, only to find (or does she?), that erstwhile inhabitants of the house, and their influence over the children, may linger.

Lock the door, light a candle, and keep watch; for there may be faces peering in at the window.
