Turn of the Screw, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A lonely country estate. Two angelic children. And a governess who begins to doubt what is real and what is imagined. Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw is one of the most enduring ghost stories ever written, a masterpiece of psychological tension and ambiguity. When a young governess is hired to care for Flora and Miles at Bly, she is charmed by their innocence and beauty. But soon, unsettling visions appear on the grounds—figures she is certain are the ghosts of former servants with sinister designs on the children. Are these apparitions real, or are they the fevered projections of her own anxieties and desires? James weaves an atmosphere thick with dread, where every whispered word and shadowed glance hints at secrets too terrible to name. The novella forces readers to question not only the truth of the haunting, but the reliability of the narrator herself, making it one of the most debated works in the history of gothic literature. Dark, elegant, and deeply unsettling, The Turn of the Screw is a haunting tale that leaves its final question unresolved—ensuring that its grip on the imagination remains unbroken more than a century after its first publication.
