A One Hundred Seventeen Year Old Adventure

Front Cover

I just finished reading The Turn of the Screw, a gothic novel written by Henry James in 1898. I read this book for my speculative fiction class. All of the books I have and will read for the class will appear on this page.

This book is filled with twists and turns. Henry James creates a fantastic world in which reality isn't quite right...or is it? This is the first horror/ghost story I've ever read where logic comes into play and where you start to wonder if it could really happen. A genius by what he doesn't add, James drops vague hints and lets the reader do all the work.

Is the governess insane? Does she see what others won't? Is there more to the story? Read Turn of the Screw to find out.
