The Turn of the Screw by Henry James (4🌟)

A psychological rollercoaster or a ghost story, or both? A young governess notices two people wandering around the house where she works. However when she asks, she is told that the people she is describing are dead. To find out the truth she investigates the history of the house and the owner. She asks questions. The children she looks after say they don't see anyone, but she thinks they are lying. No one else in the house can see them. Are the visitations "real ghosts" or is the governess going mad?

No matter how much she wants to help, with every turn of the screw, the crisis worsens.
