The Turn of the Screw is a renowned Gothic horror novella by Henry James, set in a remote, eerie country house, the story builds fear through suggestion, atmosphere, and psychological horror rather than direct violence. The story follows a young, inexperienced governess who becomes convinced that the two children in her care-Miles and Flora-at a remote English estate are being haunted and corrupted by the ghosts of former servants. The apparitions of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel, who the governess believes are attempting to possess the children. The governess becomes obsessed with saving the children, while they appear to behave suspiciously or hide the fact that they can also see the spirits. The story is famously ambiguous, leaving readers to question if the phantoms are real or manifestations of the governess's deteriorating mental state.
