The Turn Of The Screw

Having read it as one of those titles you “ought” to read in the horror genre, it was at most disappointing. The syntax and grammar are over complicated, even for the era it was written in, and after the halfway point of very little happening I found myself skimming the long descriptive passages to jump forward for some dialogue that might progress the story.

The story doesn't really ‘go' anywhere and doesn't much explore any of the ‘horror' elements. It feels unfinished and, while short, still not worth the time to have read it.
