The Monkey's Paw

"The Monkey's Paw" is the best-known work of writer W.W. Jacobs. Generally acknowledged as one of the most disturbing and brilliant works of short horror fiction ever created, the story was first published in a larger collection of scary stories released in 1902 called "The Lady of the Barge."

When the story begins, we meet the White family - an older couple and their adult son - who are given a strange and mysterious talisman: the eponymous dried monkey's paw that is said to grant the owner three wishes. The bearer of this strange token warns the couple that while the magic does work...it is not without dire and unthinkable consequences.

"The Monkey's Paw" is presented here in its original and unabridged format as narrated by renowned audiobook performers Brian J. Gill, Sara Nichols and Kevin Theis.
