Turn Turn Turn. The Turning has gotten average reviews on goodreads, not too much enthusiasm, kinda like a good foster parent (is that a mythological creature?). But I really liked it. Great cover, too, huh? It is a take on Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, but I have never read that, so I didn't know the ending! Anyway, I read about the novella and the endings aren't the same. But the story kinda is. Jack is a teen spending two months on an island taking care of two kids. The island is a totally isolated place- no internet, tv, etc. And it is pretty scary itself. Jack starts to see ghosts of folks who worked there before, but as he keeps on writing letters to his girlfriend, telling her about the ghosts, we start to think maybe he is a nutball. Good, scary story.
