The Screws Are Tightening

About This Novel

This is a "hell" story. A young female teacher was hired to take care of a pair of wealthy siblings whose parents died young. The job was well-paid, but the conditions were harsh and weird. That is, no matter what happened, the female teacher could not contact her employer (the brother and sister's uncle) and had to solve it herself. At first, life in the manor was comfortable and leisurely, and the two children were smart and handsome. However, the style suddenly took a turn for the worse: it turned out that this ancient mansion was haunted, and only the female teacher could see ghosts. A silent war unfolds between the female teacher and the ghost... The mysterious children, the sensitive and suspicious female teacher, the secretive old housekeeper, the frequent phantoms, the turbulent mystery... Fear has no boundaries, helplessness makes people depressed, and the heart is like a rotating screw, tightening more and more... "The Turn of the Screw" is the most acclaimed novella by novelist Henry James. This work of only 90,000 words demonstrates James's superb artistic skills: the nested story structure, the psychological analysis that is terrifying to consider, the code-dense language, the interlocking suspense, the traps step by step, and the traps every word, which will make your back tighten and your breathing quicken. The novel has sparked various interpretations since its inception and has profoundly influenced the creation of modern horror films. The short, concise and masterful "The Turn of the Screw" is the best introduction to the literary master Henry James.
