The Turn of the Screw and other Ghost Stories: Henry James

An unsettling new collection of Henry James`s best short stories exploring ghosts and the uncanny

`There had been a moment when I believed I recognised, faint and far, the cry of a child; there had been another when I found myself just consciously starting as at the passage, before my door, of a light footstep`

`I see ghosts everywhere`, wrote Henry James, who retained a fascination with the supernatural and sensational throughout his writing career. This new collection brings together eight of James`s tales exploring the uncanny, including his infamous ghost story, `The Turn of the Screw`, a work saturated with evil, in which a fraught governess becomes convinced that malicious spirits are menacing the children in her care. The other masterly works here include `The Jolly Corner`, `Owen Wingrave` and further tales of visitations, premonitions, madness, grief and family secrets, where the living are just as mysterious and unknowable as the dead.
