The Monkey’s Paw by W. W. Jacobs is one of the most influential supernatural horror stories ever written.

When the White family receives a mysterious monkey’s paw said to grant three wishes, curiosity soon turns to unimaginable tragedy. As each wish is fulfilled in unexpected ways, they discover that some forces are never meant to be challenged—and that fate always demands its price.

Originally published in 1902, this timeless tale remains one of the greatest examples of classic gothic horror.

Narrated by Alexander Armin for Midnight Murmurs.
