The Turn of the Screw

People who stayed in a mansion tell a ghost story one by one like a hundred stories. The title "The turn of the screw" is taken from the line "I want to hear a sophisticated story".
One of them begins to read the story of a letter from a woman who was once her tutor. She is asked by a person to live in a tutor in his mansion. In the mansion, which should have only the owner's nephew and niece, as well as a housekeeper and a servant, she sees an unidentified man shortly after taking office. It was the beginning of a horrifying experience.

When I read this story at first, I thought this is interesting and such stories don't exist in Japan. My favorite scene is last, a tutor fought with a ghost for a young boy. The content of this story is good, but illustrations are dreadful, I recommend if you like horror stories and pictures.
