Again, easing back into the world of book blogging memes, and so here is my Friday 56 which comes from Henry James’ inimitable novella, The Turn of the Screw:
A Treasury of Great Ghost Storiesedited by Ira Peck
(New York: Popular Library, Inc., 1965)
Paperback, 256 Pages, Short Fiction Anthology
ISBN: N/A, US$0.50
My 56: “My lucidity must have seemed awful, but the charming creatures who were victims of it, passing and repassing in their interlocked sweetness, gave my colleague something to hold on by; and I felt how tight she held, as without stirring in the breath of my passion, she covered them still with her eyes” (56).
