The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a gripping tale of psychological suspense that blurs the lines between the supernatural and the mind's darker corners. Set in a sprawling, isolated estate, the story follows a young governess tasked with caring for two seemingly innocent children. But soon, she begins to encounter strange apparitions—ghostly figures who may have sinister designs on the children under her care.
As the governess battles with growing dread and suspicion, readers are left questioning whether the spirits are real or mere figments of her unraveling sanity. James masterfully weaves an atmosphere of creeping fear and ambiguity, leaving readers haunted long after the final page.
This special illustrated edition enhances the eerie experience with 20 vivid illustrations that bring key scenes to life. Along with a detailed summary, character list, and an insightful biography of Henry James, this edition offers readers both new and returning a deeper connection to one of the most celebrated and mysterious stories in Gothic literature.
Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, ghost stories, and classic fiction, The Turn of the Screw remains a timeless exploration of innocence, corruption, and the mind's fragile grasp on reality.

    A grieving mother and son hope to survive Christmas in a remote mountain cabin in Pennsylvania, in this chilling novella of dread, isolation, and sinister spirits lurking in the frozen woods. Perfect for fans of The Only Good Indians, The Shining, and The Babadook. 
     
     
     
    Two weeks ago, Christine Sinclaire's husband slipped off the roof while hanging Christmas lights and fell to his death on the front lawn. 
     
     
     
    Desperate to escape her guilt and her grief, Christine packs up her fifteen-year-old son and the family cat and flees to the cabin they'd reserved deep in the remote Pennsylvania Wilds to wait out the holidays. 
     
     
     
    It isn't long before Christine begins to hear strange noises coming from the forest. When she spots a horned figure watching from between frozen branches, Christine assumes it's just a forest animal—a moose, maybe, since the property manager warned her about them, said they'd stomp a body so deep into the snow nobody'd find it 'til spring. 
     
     
     
    But moose don't walk upright like the shadowy figure does. 
     
     
     
    They don't call Christine's name with her dead husband's voice.
