The Monkey's Paw and Other Tales of Mystery and the Macabre

Jacobs is best known for his masterpiece of horror, "The Monkey's Paw." He was the author of 13 volumes of short stories, and 18 of these stories have been brought together for the first time in this gripping collection of macabre fiction. This book features Gothic narratives, stories of the macabre and supernatural tales. Many of them are also infused with shrewd and sardonic humor, for which Jacobs was justifiably famous.
