Description

In this episode, we tiptoe into The Turn of the Screw, Henry James's chilling 1898 novella that blurs the line between ghost story and psychological puzzle. We'll follow the governess who arrives at a remote English estate only to sense eerie forces closing in on her young charges—and we'll wrestle with the century-old question: are the ghosts real, or is something else haunting the house? With its taut suspense, elegant prose, and famously ambiguous ending, The Turn of the Screw remains one of literature's most haunting mysteries. Join us as we try to see what lurks in the shadows.
