James had suffered a staggering humiliation when one night he attended the opening of one of his plays, Guy Domville, which failed hideously. Mary Shelley and Robert Louis Stevenson were both inspired by horrifying nightmares, but – typical of Henry James – the writer of the ultimate literary ghost story was motivated by a polite conversation over a crackling fire. Like the other exemplars of the five respective genres of literary horror (Frankenstein, Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Haunting of Hill House), “The Turn of the Screw” has a fascinating genesis. ![]() ![]() ![]() At first, everyone laughs at the idea of a girl leading humanity's forces against the Freaks, but then she proves herself in combat.
