About this audiobook
"The Turn of the Screw" is a short novel or a novella written by American writer Henry James. Originally published in 1898, it is ostensibly a ghost story that has lent itself well to operatic and film adaptation. Due to its ambiguous content and narrative skill, "The Turn of the Screw" became a favorite text of New Criticism.
The account has lent itself to dozens of different interpretations, often mutually exclusive, including those of a Freudian nature. Many critics have tried to determine what exactly is the nature of evil within the story.
Henry James
Henry James (1843–1916) was an American writer, highly regarded as one of the key proponents of literary realism, as well as for his contributions to literary criticism. His writing centres on the clash and overlap between Europe and America, and The Portrait of a Lady is regarded as his most notable work.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was all going well, until that abrupt ending. You can't just end it like that???
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The audiobook itself was weird. Why do they announce the title of the chapter, book and author at the beginning of each chapter?? Not a bad story though but yes, an abrupt end. I think audiobook is the way to consume this story though.
