The Turn of the Screw is a novella by Henry James that combines elements of horror and psychological suspense. Set in the late 19th century, the story follows a governess who is hired to care for two orphaned children at a remote country estate. As she begins to experience strange occurrences and believes the children are being haunted by malevolent spirits, the novella explores themes of madness, repressed desires, and the blurred line between reality and imagination. James' masterful storytelling and ambiguous narrative make this book a chilling read.
