The Turn of the Screw

Told through the journal of a governess, this classic ghost story explores her intense battle to protect two children from the sinister influence of former household servants. The governess alone perceives the ghosts and suspects a dark connection to the children, raising questions about their innocence and her sanity. The author intentionally leaves the ghosts' malevolence vague, inviting readers to imagine their own horrors. This tale masterfully blends themes of sexual and psychological ambiguity, leaving a lasting impression.
