“The Beast in the Jungle and Other Stories” by Henry James

 I enjoyed reading James’ “Turn of the Screw” when I was still in high school, so I had no idea that this collection of his short stories would be so difficult to process. His writing is very dense indeed. I did enjoy the last 2 stories, which had a supernatural element. But “The Beast in the Jungle”, which is supposed to be a masterpiece, was definitely a hard slog.
