The Turn of the Screw and Other Ghost Stories

An unsettling new collection of Henry James`s best short stories exploring ghosts and the uncanny, edited by Susie Boyt.In `The Turn of the Screw`, one of the most famous ghost stories of all time, a governess becomes obsessed with the belief that malevolent forces are stalking the children in her care. But are the children really in danger – and if so, from who?The novella is accompanied here by several more tales exploring human psychology through ghostly visitations and the uncanny, including `The Romance of Certain Old Clothes`, `The Last of the Valerii`, `Sir Edmund Orme`, `Owen Wingrave`, `The Friend of the Friends`, `The Third Person` and `The Jolly Corner`.This is the final volume of three new Penguin Classics collections representing the best of Henry James`s short fiction. The other volumes are `The Aspern Papers and Other Tales`, focussing on themes of art and literature, and `Daisy Miller and Other Tales`, exploring Anglo-American relations.
