The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
I ended up reading significant portions of this story today, despite it being 1. Late Victorian, written in a style that today could be described as nothing other than “very purple prose” and 2. a ghost story (or is it?) — both of which should, on the face of it, have made me despise it.
I suppose I should read the whole thing and then watch The Innocents, reputedly the best film adaption to date.
