About this book
Creators: W. W. Jacobs (1863-1943), Maurice Greiffenhagen (1862-1931) [Illustrator], and active 1896-1918 Amy Richards [Illustrator] "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs is a horror short story first published in 1902. When the White family receives a mummified monkey's paw that grants three wishes, they dismiss warnings about its terrible power. Their seemingly innocent wish sets off a chain of devastating events that test the boundaries between fate and human desire. This classic tale of supernatural consequences has become one of the most adapted horror stories in literature, spawning countless retellings across stage, film, and television.
