Henry James

When the young American Frederick Winterbourne meets his compatriot Daisy Miller in the garden of a grand hotel in Switzerland, he is struck by her beauty, but slightly unsettled by her open ways and her flirtatiousness. Undeterred by this and by his aunt’s disapproval, he invites her to join him in a jaunt to a nearby castle, little suspecting that this will set in train a sequence of events that promises to be a source of heartache and disappointment for him, and threatens to compromise his own social acceptability. One of Henry James’s most enduringly popular works, Daisy Miller, here published in its 1909 version, incorporating the author’s final revisions, is a masterly, psychologically nuanced dissection of social mores and a merciless critique of convention and staid respectability.

Confidence is a novel by Henry James. The plot rambles through various romantic entanglements before reaching an complicated, but still believable happy ending.

Two terrifying books bound together in one striking t te-b che volume: a brand new anthology of morbid, macabre and mysterious masterworks, Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror, is paired with Henry James's definitive Gothic classic The Turn of the Screw. A stranger in a rowboat approaches a schooner in the blackness of night to beg for food. The residents of a secluded town whisper stories about a headless horseman. A poor Hawaiian is convinced to purchase a bottle that contains a being powerful enough to grant any wish. These unsettling stories and more are compiled together for the first time in Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror, edited and with an introduction by C. S. R. Calloway. A governess, her two child charges, and a house haunted by memories and-perhaps-something much more malevolent. The story has been retold countless times, but never as effectively as in its original form. The Turn of the Screw remains frightening over a century after its initial publication, expertly crafted to create fear in what is explicitly on the page and what is left untold. DOUBLE BOOKED(TM) Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror / The Turn of the Screw combines renowned authors Algernon Blackwood, William Hope Hodgson, Washington Irving, W. W. Jacobs, Henry James, Edgar Allan Poe, and Robert Louis Stevenson together in one stylish "reversible" paperback.
