About this listen

Experience a frightening cornerstone of Gothic fiction in this InAudio presentation of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.

On a quiet Christmas Eve, a governess’ manuscript detailing her encounters with the supernatural is read. She tells the story of moving into an estate to take care of two children and becoming slowly aware that the area is overrun with ghosts of the previous inhabitants - and that the children are aware that these ghosts exist.

The Turn of the Screw tells the story of the governess’ descent into fear as she believes she observes more of the supernatural, but it also poses an interesting dilemma of interpretation to the listener - are there really ghosts, or are they figments of the governess’ imagination? In a master work of suspense, Henry James tells a tale that will leave listeners on the edge of their seats, pondering the true interpretation of the governess’ manuscript.
