'Fate rules people's lives, and those who interfere with it do so to their sorrow.' First published in 1902 in Harper's Monthly magazine, 'The Monkey's Paw' is a chilling short story that details the devastating price of interfering with fate. When the White family come into the possession of a supposedly mystical talisman – a mummified monkey's paw – they are at first sceptical. According to the previous owner, the paw can grant three wishes, but only with a hellish cost. Mr. White, following encouragement from his son, flippantly wishes for £200, which will enable him to pay off the mortgage for his house. But when Mr. White's innocent wish comes true, a series of tragic and horrifying events ensue, changing the family forever. Deeply unnerving and pacey in equal measure, 'The Monkey's Paw' reminds its readers to be careful for what you wish for. William Wymark Jacobs (1863 – 1943) was an English short story writer and dramatist. He is remembered for his humorous yet often macabre tales, which gained much popularity at the time of publication. Although much of his writing focused on marine life, his most famous work is the horror short story, 'The Monkey's Paw'.Zum Buch

A perfect story for fans of Gaiman and Pratchett's GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD'S END. Arthur Crazy is drunk and seeing ghosts. This is not a metaphor. The dead are walking and talking, and it doesn't matter that Arthur doesn't believe in them. They believe in him. Too drunk to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he's the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he's the only one who can help. As forgotten legends and lost demons stir all over the cobbled streets and snickelways, Arthur finds himself at the centre of an unfolding mystery—a light in the desert, a fart at a funeral—and he is about to discover that an unfortunate surname isn't the only thing that makes him stand out. Arthur just wants to sober up, have a kebab, and go home, but his conscience is knocking loud and clear, demanding he open the damn door. He may not be the hero the dead need, but he's the one they're stuck with. Besides, one of those ghosts seems kind of cute.Zum Buch
