Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A most wonderful, lurid, poisonous little tale.” —Oscar Wilde
“James [has] gorgeous prose and skill at creating and sustaining a mood of growing unease and horror.” —Booklist
“More than a horrific ghost story, The Turn of the Screw is an enigmatic and disturbing psychological novel that probes the source of terror in neuroses and moral degradation…The Turn of the Screw will continue to fascinate and to intrigue because James’ ‘cold artistic calculation’ has so filled it with suggestiveness and intentional ambiguity that it may be read at different levels and with new revelations at each successive reading.” —Masterpieces of World Literature
