    Are the ghosts real, or is the governess descending into madness? The terror lies in the uncertainty.
    
    Step into the chilling atmosphere of Bly, a secluded country estate where a young, earnest governess is charged with caring for two unnervingly beautiful, orphaned children. But their innocence is shadowed by the presence of two malevolent figures: the ghosts of a former valet and a deceased governess. Henry James masterfully crafts a ghost story that is also a profound work of psychological horror. Feel the mounting suspense and claustrophobia as the governess fights to protect her charges from the unseen evil, all while her own sanity hangs in the balance. This novella is the ultimate literary maze, famous for its ambiguity—a classic that has launched a thousand academic and critical debates.
    
    A foundational text in Gothic literature and a chilling examination of perception, repressed desire, and the corruption of innocence, The Turn of the Screw is literary horror at its finest.

    'Beautifully written and delightfully unsettling... an evocative read, set in an unusual landscape, that will pull you in from the first page' – Rachel Burton, bestselling author of THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN. 
    A secluded house. A lost notebook. A wartime secret. 
    1942: Young Irish nurse Ellen arrives at May Day House, tasked with helping the men there rehabilitate. But there’s something strange about the house, surrounded by water, on its own island in the Thames. And then there are the men: traumatised by their experiences of war, and subject to troubling methods in a desperate race to get them back to duty. As Ellen gets drawn into the world of May Day House, she starts to realise this will be no place to hide away from her own troubles… 
    2013: Philip and Meredith are the proud new owners of May Day House. Following a string of tragedies, the couple have moved to the area in search of a new start. But all is not what it seems in the riverside community. As their plans for the rundown house meet resistance from the neighbours, Meredith finds herself slowly unravelling: she hears voices on the water, sees figures where there can be no one there. When she finds an old notebook from the war, she seeks solace in the stories about the former patients of the island. 
    But will shadows from the past threaten her future happiness – and even her life?

    "I wrote a book," said Turpin. 
    "You wrote a book?" said James. 
    "It's selling on Amazon and Audible, and I promote my work on Redbubble and Zazzle," said Turpin. 
    "Why am I being paid by them?" said James 
    "I used your details and name to sign up and as a name. I couldn't sell without real details what would people say if I said I was a ghostwriter!" said Turpin. 
    "You lousy identity thief!" grumbled James "Great I'm being haunted by a computer genius from before computers." 
    "Thief I'm paying you!" said Turpin. 
    "I thought Audible needed real voices to be eligible to have your work put on Audible?" said James. 
    "I read the book on to the computer as John Palmer," said Turpin. 
    "How? I thought I was the only person who could hear you?" said James. 
    "I did an E V P," Turpin said. 
    "A what?" asked James. 
    "Electronic Voice Phenomena or a ghost audio recording! Ghosts can be recorded with a microphone, so I read it." Turpin said. 
    "So you are haunting Audible now, are you?" James said. 
    "And YouTube, iTunes, and Soundcloud, among other things if you put it like that?" said Turpin exasperated. 
    "What am I supposed to have written!" asked James.
