Summary
A young governess takes a post at a remote country house to look after two children, Miles and Flora, whose guardian wants nothing to do with them. She arrives charmed, and stays frightened. There is a man on the tower. There is a woman at the lake. Nobody else can see either of them, and both of them want the children.
What follows is not a haunting with rattling chains but a slow campaign of influence, conducted over tea and bedtime and long afternoons on the lawn, in which the worst thing that can happen is that a child is polite to you. Henry James never lets you decide whether the ghosts are real, and that ambiguity is the point: the story is told by a woman with everything to lose if she is wrong, in a house with no one to confirm a single thing she sees.
First published in 1898, The Turn of the Screw is the most argued-about ghost story in English, and the most quietly frightening. This unabridged recording keeps James's long, spiralling sentences intact and lets the dread accumulate the way he wrote it - one clause at a time.
