Description
A mysterious monkey’s paw grants three wishes—but each one turns into an unpredictable horror. A classic tale that inspired generations of writers working in the mystery and thriller genres. This collection also includes Jacob’s other masterpieces: from chilling mystical stories to ironic “seaman tales” with an unexpected twist.
The mysterious monkey’s paw, once enchanted in India by a powerful fakir, grants the owner any three wishes. But alas, the next trusting fool who gets it in his hands doesn’t suspect what price he will have to pay for their fulfillment…
The collection includes other Jacob works united by a mystical theme—both serious and genuinely terrifying, and ironic, teasing the reader with hints of the supernatural, which ultimately leads to an unexpected but entirely realistic explanation; as well as mischievous stories belonging to the author’s favorite genre: “sea tales of ocean-depth miracles.”
