In
these two chilling stories, Henry James shows himself to be a master of
haunting atmosphere and unbearable tension. The Turn of the Screw tells
of a young governess sent to a country home to take charge of two
orphans, Miles and Flora. Unsettled by a sense of intense evil within
the house, she soon becomes obsessed with the belief that malevolent
forces are stalking the children in her care. Obsession of a more
worldly variety lies at the heart of The Aspern Papers, the tale of a
literary historian determined to get his hands on some letters written
by a great poet-and prepared to use trickery and deception to achieve
his aims.
