An unsettling new collection of Henry James's best short stories exploring ghosts and the uncanny'There had been a moment when I believed I recognised faint and far the cry of a child there had been another when I found myself just consciously starting as at the passage before my door of a light footstep''I see ghosts everywhere' wrote Henry James who retained a fascination with the supernatural and sensational throughout his writing career. This new collection brings together eight of James's tales exploring the uncanny including his infamous ghost story 'The Turn of the Screw' a work saturated with evil in which a fraught governess becomes convinced that malicious spirits are menacing the children in her care. The other masterly works here include 'The Jolly Corner' 'Owen Wingrave' and further tales of visitations premonitions madness grief and family secrets where the living are just as mysterious and unknowable as the dead. With an introduction and notes by Susie BoytGeneral Editor Philip Horne
