Fyodor Dostoevsky

ABOUT THE BOOK
An unnamed young governess is sent to a remote country house to take charge of two orphans, Miles and Flora. She is soon gripped by a sense of foreboding, and becomes convinced that something dark is menacing her young charges. But are supernatural forces at work, or is the danger something altogether more earthly?
Widely considered one of the greatest ghost stories ever written, Henry James’s novella has inspired countless horror stories and psychological thrillers. This annotated edition includes notes and extra material on the author and his work.
