"The Monkey's Paw"
The Monkey’s Paw” is a classic “three wishes” story that doubles as a horror story and a cautionary tale, reminding us that unintended consequences often accompany the best intentions. This widely anthologized story is a favorite in classrooms around the world. The story was first published in 1902 and then featured in The Lady of the Barge, published in 1911.
A full collection of stories by W.W. Jacobs is available at the Nashville Public Library under the title The Monkey’s Paw and Other Tales of Mystery and the Macabre.
