The Turn of the Screw by Henry James

Dear Readers,

I came down with Covid this week. Yes. It was a surprise. And while spending time in bed I came across a movie, The Turning, from 2020 on Amazon Prime. It’s a ghost story for sure, and I realized that it was adapted from The Turn of the Screw, a short story from 1898 by Henry James. There is another version of this story on film from 1961 titled The Innocents, which I also recently watched. I began to think about the differences between the two movies. Especially the story telling. Which one would I recommend? Hands down.. The Innocents. (I’m now reading the short story!)

**Ah! If you saw my initial post - it’s Henry James not James Joyce!😉
