The Turn of the Screw

Pros

• Some more well known examples are E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Sandman" (1816), Robert Louis Stevenson's *Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde* (1886), Henry James' *The Turn of the Screw*, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper...
• The Turn of the Screw (also really good by tuppence middleton )
• I've read and loved The Haunting of Hill House and The Turn of the Screw
• Walter de la Mare's ***The Return*** (originally published in 1910) was one of the first novels of this type, and should be studied today alongside Henry James' much-loved novella "The Turn of the Screw."
• If you want *really* classic, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is good and spooky.

Cons

• I just got around to reading The Turn of the Screw earlier this year, and I'd say it's denser, both linguistically and psychologically, in its style than a lot of other Gothic classics.
• The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
• It's odd, considering the love that people have for that book, but I've tried to read that book three times now and haven't managed to get to the halfway point yet!
• Henry James, The Turn of the Screw.
• Henry James' *The Turn of the Screw*. Although the plot is great, I just cannot stand James' paragraph-long sentences.
