The Turn Of The Screw And Other Short Fiction by Henry James
And Other Short Fiction
An unnerving collection anchored by a famous novella about a young governess summoned to an isolated country house who becomes convinced that her two wards are being menaced by spectral presences; told in a tense, intimate narrative voice that keeps readers uncertain whether the terrors are objective hauntings or manifestations of the narrator’s imagination, the central tale probes themes of innocence and corruption, authority and repression. The other short pieces range from finely observed social sketches to psychologically acute studies of art, identity, and moral ambiguity, all rendered in polished, suggestive prose that favors atmosphere and nuance over tidy explanation.
