Aereopagitica, 31 October

There's a table with Halloween specials, including Dracula and Frankenstein, as well as The Giaour and The Vampyre.

Giles, on his own part, is sitting behind the counter reading the scariest book he knows: The Turn of the Screw.

One of these days Giles was going to remember to check if Henry James had any Watchers in his background...

Of course Giles is in the "The Governess isn't mad" criticism camp...

There's now a bowl of popcorn balls on the counter. Giles seems too have finished The Turn of the Screw, and now he seems to be arguing with Bram Stoker...

...and of course, there's the oft-overlooked gothic element in Jane Eyre.

Ta da! And seriously? The Turn of the Screw is the scariest thing you will read. Even if it was written by the same guy who wrote Daisy Miller.
