A timeless gothic novella, Henry James's The Turn of the Screw follows the transformation of Miles (age 10) and Flora (age 8) from well-behaved children to deceitful liars. When a governess comes to their country estate to look after the children, she and Flora are separately visited by ghosts. However, Flora denies the experience and Miles claims to never have been visited by one, even when evidence supports an evil plot between the children and the ghosts. Devoid of common ghost story stereotypes, this timeless story is full of suspense, supernatural phenomenon, and thrills to frighten and delight any listener.

Cuando una joven hereda la fortuna Coxon con la condición de entregar una parte a quien considere el pensador más importante de su época, Frank está dispuesto a lo que sea para hacerse con el dinero. «James es a la novela lo que Shakespeare a la poesía.» Graham Greene"Un gran narrador […]. Reconozco que algunas de las lecciones decisivas sobre el oficio de escribir las debo a la lectura de Henry James." Sergio Pitol
