Originally published in 1902, "The Monkey's Paw" is a classic horror short story written by author W. W. Jacobs. In the story, the paw of a dead monkey is a talisman that grants its possessor three wishes, but the wishes come with an enormous price.

Was decent, especially for being written in 1902. Narration was OK. Worth the buck or two I paid when it was on sale and now I can say I've read it (or listened to it rather).
