The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
4.0



A masterful designed ambiguous tale.

On the surface it’s a gothic ghost story about a young governance tending two young children on a remote estate, with slowly building tension, uneasiness and fear.

Alternatively it a story about a truly unreliable narrator who lets her imagination and suppressed emotions get the best of her and causes the dead of an innocent child as a result.
