The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs (BONUS #2)

"The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply; "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death." A special treat to celebrate the first year of the podcast. For our second classic ghost story reading, we have an uncanny classic by W.W. Jacobs. Jacobs mostly wrote comedies, and has been praised for his well-observed and realistic depictions of working class characters. It’s a measure of the quality of his supernatural fiction, however, that their reputation has outgrown that of his other works.
