THE TURN OF THE SCREW is the greatest and most subtle of all English-language ghost stories. H.P. Lovecraft praised its "truly potent air of sinister menace" and "mounting tide of fright" and subsequent critics have argued long and hard over the central "problem" of the story: if the motifs of the traditional ghost story, in the hands of a master, are used to probe the deepest depths of the human psyche, do the resultant terrors spring from the objective return of the spirits of the dead, or from the fears, memories, and guilt the expectation of such apparitions may evoke? Are there any ghosts in this story at all? James himself might have been puzzled by that question. His own remarks make it clear that what he had in mind was a "sinister romance," inspired by a ghostly story he had heard from an Archbishop of Canterbury. He wrote of the "portentous evil" of the "demon-spirits" in the story, but it was his genius to make them so profoundly mysterious that THE TURN OF THE SCREW will survive any number of interpretations, and go on to chill and delight readers for centuries to come. THE TURN OF THE SCREW was memorably filmed as THE INNOCENTS (1961), arguably the finest cinematic ghost story of all time.

评分 评分这是一本心理恐怖小说:闹鬼的故事。 早在6、7年前,我就在图书馆翻过本书,04年的人民文学版。由于时间关系,只对书名很有印象,最终也没读成。这次出了新版,感谢多看赠阅,又让我想起这部“The Turn of the Screw”。 鉴于本书情节比较离奇,对其表达意图的解读也很多,在此...
评分 评分《螺丝在拧紧》是美国作家亨利•詹姆斯的一篇名作,据说是哥特小说的代表作,讲了一个匪夷所思的故事。初看这个书名,还以为是一部技术工具书,其实它只是一种寓意,让人恐惧的故事就象不断拧紧的螺丝,越来越紧,到尽头之前只能朝一个方向发展,以形象紧张程度的上升。 故...
