#Fireside

During the summer I love to have backyard bonfires and kick back.
Don't judge the weed in the back. I grow my own medicine.

Turn of the Screw | Henry Jr. James
post image

My mind immediately went to James novella when I saw today's prompt. It opens as a group of acquaintances are gathered at the #fireside of a study, telling spooky stories. The narrator then promises to tell them over the following few days the most frightening tale that they have heard, which was related to him by his governess. When I finished the novella I had to sit with it for a couple of days. The ambiguity of not only the ending (cont.)

vivastory but the events themselves were fairly groundbreaking at the time that James published this during the time of moral certainty, although it was pub at the end of the Victorian Era. In '22 when I read it, I had read other authors who had written better works involving ambiguity & psychological complexity, but you can say they owe James a debt.

dabbe Phenomenal ghost story! the 1961 movie THE INNOCENTS is based on this, and it's scary as he--! 👻 1y
vivastory @dabbe I've heard great things about The Innocents! Isn't The Other also based on it? I haven't seen that since it was first released many years ago, but I remember liking it at the time. 1y

dabbe @vivastory Is that the movie with Nicole Kidman? I think you're right, and it's also been a LONG time since I saw it. Will have to revisit! 1y
vivastory @dabbe That's the one. I thought about watching it again after I finished the book but didn't get around to it. I have also been very curious about Haunting of Bly Manor, but I have heard very mixed reviews on it. I will probably eventually watch it as I love Mike Flanagan. 1y
Bookwomble @vivastory I enjoyed Bly Manor, if that's any recommendation 😉 1y
vivastory @Bookwomble That IS a recommendation! I will definitely check it out 1y

The tagged book by Longfellow along with Fireside Travels by James Russell Lowell helped secure the nickname “The #Fireside Poets” for the two of them, along with William Cullen Bryant, John Greenleaf Whittier and Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. #JanuaryJazz @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
