A review by yliana
The Turn of the Screw and Other Ghost Stories by Henry James

i just couldn't get into the writing. i think henry james was really good at making his writing atmospheric and really setting the mood for whatever story he was writing but I ultimately just found most of the stories to be pretty boring. there was no sense of dread or anything that really screamed, "this is a scary story" but maybe the phrase "ghost stories" made me expect something scary.
i wanted to read this collection because i adore mike flanagan and when i found out that the haunting of bly manor was built off of multiple henry james stories, i was so excited. i'm pretty sad that I didn't enjoy this collection enough to make it past the second story.
