Jane Eyre

The harshly treated orphan girl, Jane Eyre, becomes a governess in an mysterious Yorkshire mansion and falls in love with the master of the house.

My plain Jane

In this spin on "Jane Eyre," Charlotte records the moments of her and Jane's life--at first writing a murder mystery, then a romance with supernatural themes. Jane can see ghosts, and the Society for the Relocation of Wayward Spirits determines that she is someone who can control ghosts as well as see them, and offers her a job.

The turn of the screw

A governess comes to believe her two charges, ten-year-old Miles and eight-year-old Flora, are being haunted by the ghosts of former servants.
