A chilling new collection of Henry James's short stories exploring 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 whom?

The novella is accompanied here by several more of the very best of Henry James' short stories, including The Jolly Corner and The Third Person, all of which explore human psychology through ghostly visitations and the uncanny.
