Henry James
Henry Jame's chilling ghost story begins when a governess arrives at an English country estate to look two young children, Miles and Flora. At first, everything appears normal then one night a ghost appears before the governess. It is the dead lover of Miss Jessel, the former governess. Later, the ghost of Miss Jessel herself appears before the governess and the little girl. The children, however, adamantly refuse to acknowledge the presence of the two spirits, although there are indications that there is some evil communication between the children and the ghosts.

"This book was horrifying in a weird way, because it plays innocence and guilt - truth and lie against one another quite often that you're left not knowing the truth of the entire matter even by the end. This book demands that you should re-read it to gain more understanding and also more confusion about the governess and the children she oversees. I loved James' writing style and I like that he doesn't completely satisfy the reader on certain matters. It keeps the book open and relevant for discussion even to this day. "
