The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction by Henry James
Lindsay's review
rating:
I do not normally enjoy short stories, with the exception of Henry James. He was horrible at writing plays because he would write these extremely long sentences for his actors, and it never seemed like real dialogue. For me, his genius is in his short stories - the meaning behind the stories, the perfection of his narrative. But beware, he was British and often uses his language in a precise and even cold way. There is warmth in it, you just have to pay close attention.
