A ghost story or psychological character study - which one is more horrifying? The Turn of the Screw is a masterpiece of horror. The first edition in book form of Henry James' brilliant The Turn of The Screw, the darkest and indeed richest ghost story I have ever read Published in The Two Magics, there were only 1500 examples printed in 1898 and in this condition it is genuinely rare.
