How Stories Work, Especially the Spooky Ones
Henry James, Ghost Writer: Reviewing ‘The Turn of the Screw’
As I assembled the books I would read month by month for my classic novel goal this year, I knew I wanted something spooky for October. I’m not much for horror or the macabre, so I didn’t really know where to start. I asked around, and a friend recommended The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.
“It’s perfect,” she said. “You’ll love it.”
Did I?
