The Monkey's Paw | What Happens When You Get What You Want

Описание: Tonight, as the world makes its wishes for the New Year, remember: fate does not like to be tempted.

"The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs is the ultimate cautionary tale for those who desire more than they have. Widely considered one of the greatest horror short stories ever written, this classic audiobook explores the terrifying consequences of interfering with destiny.

The story begins on a stormy night when the White family receives a visit from Sergeant-Major Morris, who brings with him a mummified monkey's paw from India. A holy man placed a spell on it to prove that fate rules people's lives, and that those who interfere with it do so to their sorrow. The paw grants three wishes to three separate men.

What follows is a masterclass in suspense and psychological horror. Mr. White makes a simple wish for money, but the way it is granted destroys his family. The narrative builds to an unbearable climax of grief and terror, reminding us all on this New Year's Eve: sometimes, the worst thing that can happen is getting exactly what you asked for.
