The Turn of the Screw

Henry James

"The story won't tell... not in any literal, vulgar way."

A young, inexperienced governess is hired to care for two orphaned children, Miles and Flora, at a remote country estate called Bly. The children are unnervingly beautiful and eerily well-behaved, but the governess soon begins to see figures haunting the grounds: a man and a woman who she learns are the ghosts of two former employees, Peter Quint and Miss Jessel. Convinced that these malevolent spirits are seeking to corrupt the children, she enters a desperate struggle to save their souls. But as the tension mounts, a chilling question arises: Are the ghosts real, or are they the hallucinations of a woman losing her grip on reality?

The Master of Ambiguity: Henry James intentionally crafted the narrative to be interpreted in two ways. Is it a terrifying tale of the supernatural, or a "Freudian" psychological study of repressed hysteria? By using an unreliable narrator, James forces the reader to become a detective, searching for truth in a house filled with shadows and secrets.

A Legacy of Dread: The Turn of the Screw revolutionized the horror genre by shifting the focus from external "monsters" to the internal terror of the mind. Its influence can be felt in modern classics like The Innocents and The Haunting of Hill House, making it an essential read for fans of atmospheric, high-stakes psychological drama.

Face the ghosts of Bly. Purchase "The Turn of the Screw" today and decide for yourself.

Rats in the Walls The (Unabridged)

H. P. Lovecraft

In 1923, an American named Delapore, the last descendant of the De la Poer family, moves to his ancestral estate in England following the death of his only son during World War I. To the dismay of nearby residents, he restores the estate, called Exham Priory. After moving in, Delapore and his cat frequently hear the sounds of rats scurrying behind the walls. Upon investigating further, and through recurring dreams, Delapore learns that his family maintained an underground city for centuries, where they raised generations of "human cattle"-some regressed to a quadrupedal state-to supply their taste for human flesh. This was stopped when Delapore's ancestor killed his entire family in their sleep and left the country in order to end the horror, leaving the remaining human livestock and a surviving relative to be devoured by the rats inhabiting the city's cesspits. Maddened by the revelations of his family's past, a hereditary cruelty, and his anger over his son's death, Delapore attacks one of his friends in the dark of the cavernous city and begins eating him while rambling in a mixture of Middle English, Latin, and Gaelic, before devolving into a cacophony of animalistic grunts. He is subsequently subdued and placed in a mental institution. At least one other investigator, Thornton, has gone insane as well. Soon after, Exham Priory is destroyed and the investigators decide to cover up the existence of the underground city. Delapore maintains his innocence, proclaiming that it was "the rats, the rats in the walls", who ate the man. He continues to be plagued by the sound of rats in the walls of his cell.
