Henry James’ magnificent and chilling tale The Turn of the Screw is the story of a young Governess who is sent to a country house totake charge of two young orphaned children, Flora and Miles. Quickly she becomes unsettled by an ominous sense of evil within the house, which soon leads her to become obsessed by the idea that her two charges are being stalked by malevolent forces beyond her control. James’ masterwork has often been sighted as one of the greatest ghost stories every told, however it is also a study of thehuman psyche- as the beautiful and haunting ambiguity of the tale pulls ever forward to its unnerving conclusion.
