About this listen

The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 horror novella by Henry James that first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly magazine. Classified as both Gothic fiction and a ghost story, the novella focuses on a governess who, caring for two children at a remote estate, becomes convinced that the grounds are haunted.

A cornerstone text of academics who subscribed to New Criticism, the novella has had differing interpretations, often mutually exclusive. Narrated by Michael Ward, and intended as a companion to the Kindle edition.
