Summary

“If a child gives the effect another turn of the screw, what do you say to two children—?”

“I don’t know what I don’t see, what I don’t fear!”

“Miles and Flora saw more—things terrible and unguessable.”

“For there again, against the glass ... was the hideous author of our woe—the white face of damnation.”

“I want my own sort!”

Henry James

The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 horror novella by Henry James which first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly. In October 1898, it was collected in The Two Magics, published by Macmillan in New York City and Heinemann in London.

Henry James OM was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language.
