The story that inspired Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor.

A young governess arrives at the remote and eerie Bly estate to care for Miles and Flora, orphans now living under the care of their uncle. Unsettled by the house and its residents, she soon becomes obsessed with the belief that evil forces are preying on the children in her care.

Is the truly a vigilant protector of innocent children...or a victim of her own unravelling mind?

Described by Oscar Wilde as 'a most wonder, lurid poisonous little tale', The Turn of the Screw is a psychological masterpiece that casts a shadowy and powerful spell. With each page James blurs the line between reality and imagination, leaving the reader to question whether the true horror lies in the ghosts that haunt Bly or in the recesses of the governess' fragile psyche.

Now with a new foreword by E.K. Hood and resources for students and bookclubs to expand their experience of the text.
