Described by Stephen King as 'the quintessential ghost story,' The Turn of the Screw was originally published in serialized form and eventually became one of Henry James' most famous works. The Turn of the Screw tells the story of an inexperienced governess left to care for two orphaned children at an isolated mansion in the English countryside. Shortly after her arrival, the governess begins to see visions of two malicious ghosts who seem determined to posses the innocents in her care. Resolved to save the children, she struggles to unravel the mystery of the ghosts' motives and discover the key to destroying their power.

Described by Stephen King as 'the quintessential ghost story,' The Turn of the Screw was originally published in serialized form and eventually became one of James' most famous works. James added a new spin to the traditional ghost story by writing it entirely from the governess' perspective, leaving the reader to interpret her account's accuracy and truthfulness. More than a century later, critical debate rages on over the nature of the ghosts, the complicity of the children, and the sanity of the governess.
