Read by: Peter Yearsley, David Barnes,Cori Samuel, Jim Mowatt and Stuart Pyle. W. Jacobs.
It's a dark brooding tale which promises from the start that the light you see at the end of the tunnel is actually an oncoming train. Mr and Mrs White of Laburnum Villas step out toward that light by taking up the three wishes granted to the owner of the Monkey's Paw. Terrible things have happened to previous owners of this artifact but surely the Whites will fare better than those who have gone before...

Finished it in four sittings. Usually takes me weeks to get through an audiobook. Says a lot about how gripping The Monkey's Paw is.
I almost skipped this one because the title didn't grab me. Really glad I didn't. The content inside is miles ahead of what the description suggests.
The way W. W. Jacobs uses stories and examples to illustrate points is really effective. Doesn't feel like a lecture at all — more like a conversation.
I've been in a reading slump for months and this finally broke it. Something about The Monkey's Paw just clicked and now I'm back to listening every day. Grateful for it.
