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.
