pozo67 's review for:

The Turn of the Screw and Other Stories by Henry James
3.75
challenging dark funny tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Deliberately slow which made it less scary for me tbh as I was piecing together exactly what happened! I spent 1 night on the other stories and 2 on The Turn of the Screw, which was by far the best story - made me wish I'd actually just bought it on its own! I did like the story about the ghost in a church though and the concept of seeing deaths! Turn of the Screw made me shiver as well as having a humour to it. Finally a Victorian writer acknowledged how weird "perfect" children are! Open to a lot of interpretation exactly what went on.
