More about the book
In these two chilling stories, Henry James shows himself to be a master of haunting atmosphere and unbearable tension. The Turn of the Screw tells of a young governess sent to a country home to take charge of two orphans, Miles and Flora. Unsettled by a sense of intense evil within the house, she soon becomes obsessed with the belief that malevolent forces are stalking the children in her care. It also includes The Pupil which concerns a pupil's hold over his tutor and The Third Person, described in the introduction as a "spoof on spooking."
