The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 horror novella by Henry James which first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly (January 27 - April 16, 1898). In October 1898, it was collected in The Two Magics, published by Macmillan in New York City and Heinemann in London. The novella follows a governess who, caring for two children at a remote estate, becomes convinced that the grounds are haunted. The Turn of the Screw is considered a work of both Gothic and horror fiction. In the century following its publication, critical analysis of the novella has undergone several major transformations. In the early 1970s, the influence of structuralism resulted in an acknowledgement that the text's ambiguity was its key feature. Later approaches incorporated Marxist and feminist thinking.

In meinem Buch "Wer kann segeln wohl über den See" geht es um kleine Geschichten, Anekdoten und Erlebnisse, die zum Teil selbst erlebt, zum Teil frei erfunden, zum Teil utopisch sind. Sie sind entstanden aus einer Idee heraus und machten sich dann selbständig. Und ich konnte nichts dagegen tun. ;-) 3 Drittel halt - ein Insider meiner Familie. :-)

A story about one Big man, his too-tight leotard, and the haunting voice in his head screaming at him to clean up the streets.Chasing the Dragon is hands down, the most fun I've ever had with an ARC.Mark Towse has given us a new humanitarian hero narrative; a perfect mix of satire and sincerity. It's a kick-ass blend of Sin City's dark atmosphere and the unconventional heroism of Unbreakable. Beneath the comedic surface, the novel tackles some serious themes like domestic abuse and poverty and while it clearly pokes fun at certain elements, it never loses sight of the weightier subjects it addresses."Chasing The Dragon is a hybrid of all genres, a fever-dream mash-up of horror, fantasy, comedy, crime, thriller, mystery, and even a bit of bloody romance."
