The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs | Short Horror Story

Tonight at The Hollow Library, we read The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs; one of the most perfectly constructed horror stories ever written.A sergeant-major returns from India with a curious relic, a dried monkey's paw with the power to grant three wishes. The White family laughs it off. They make their wish. And then the consequences come knocking.Published in 1902, this story has terrified readers for over a century. The horror here is not in what you see. It is in what you hear at the door.
