Arcturus Ornate Classics-The Turn of the Screw

This chilling classic of psychological horror is presented here in an elegant pocket hardback edition with silver cover embossing and printed edges. The Turn of the Screw is a gothic ghost story, described by Oscar Wilde as 'a most wonderful, lurid, poisonous little tale'. An unnamed governess lives in an isolated country house with her two charges. When the governess begins to see ghostly apparitions roaming the grounds, she does everything she can to protect the children, but the situation soon spirals out of control. This uneasy and sinister novella has influenced a number of films including The Innocents (1961) and The Others (2001), and remains one of the most iconic horror stories of all time. This is elegantly presented with an embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and gilded page edges, making a wonderful gift or collectible for any lover of classic literature.
