Henry James

Henry James's The Turn of the Screw is the most argued-over ghost story in the language. A young governess, alone with two strange and beautiful children in a remote country house, becomes convinced that two dead servants are still present - and mean to possess her charges. James leaves no way to decide whether the horror is real or the product of her own mind, and that unresolved dread is the whole terrible power of the book.
This edition presents the complete and unabridged novella, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
