I mentioned in an earlier post that I had started to read "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James... I finally finished it yesterday. ( very proud of mself. It was the first book I've finished in months. I was afraid I'd lost the capacity to finish a book. )
I'd recommend it to those of you who like psychological horror without gore, and are willing to put the effort in to get used to the author'S style, which consists of paragraph-long sentences.
While reading it, I would have to stop and reread a sentence at least once on every page. But it's worth it. He's very good at building up an atmosphere, and I can honestly say this book is one of the few that actually made me get gooseflesh. I really got a shock on one or two occasions!
Thrilling.
