Horror

The Turn of the Screw

by Henry James

A governess arrives at a country estate to care for two orphaned children, only to become convinced that malevolent spirits haunt the grounds. James's masterpiece of ambiguity leaves readers questioning whether the horror is supernatural or psychological, or perhaps both.
