A review by danahuff
The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction by Henry James
5.0
The Turn of the Screw is probably one of the best creepy Victorian "ghost" stories. It tells the story of Miss Jessel, a governess hired to take care of a creepy boy and girl who are being haunted by the ghosts of their former governess and a servant. This novella offers up chills without the horror movie shlock that passes for scary today.
Of the other stories in this collection, I have only read Daisy Miller, the sad tale of an American out of her element in Europe. I don't remember liking it much, but it was required reading for a course.
