    Be careful what you wish for… 
    The Monkey’s Paw by W.W. Jacobs is one of the most chilling and enduring tales of supernatural horror ever written. First published in 1902, this short story explores the terrifying consequences of tampering with fate. When an old family receives a magical monkey’s paw—an object that grants its owner three wishes—they soon learn that every gift comes at a dreadful cost. 
    As suspense builds and wishes are made, Jacobs masterfully draws listeners into a dark atmosphere of dread and inevitability. With gothic overtones, sharp dialogue, and a slow-building sense of terror, The Monkey’s Paw remains a classic of macabre fiction and moral consequence. 
    This full audiobook brings the haunting tale to life with rich, atmospheric narration that will captivate fans of horror, gothic fiction, and classic short stories. Ideal for listeners who enjoy unsettling narratives with a psychological edge.

    It is a recording of a dream, where the protagonist is a Roman military official in the Vascon country near Pompelo. The countryside is, every year, ravaged by terrible hill people who kidnap citizens and perform cruel rituals at a Sabbath. The narrator wishes to lead a military expedition to crush these hill folk, as a feeling of approaching evil has enveloped the countryside, due to a riot between the citizens and the hill people. These hill folk came to trade, yet some of these are killed and later, no disappearances occur before the time of the Sabbath. The incursion is guided by a local-born son of Roman parents. As the Romans approach the seat of the Sabbath rituals, something terrible attacks them and in an instant, horrible things come to pass: "He had killed himself when the horses screamed... He, who had been born and lived all his life in that region, and knew what men whispered about the hills. All the torches now began to dim, and the cries of frightened legionaries mingled with the unceasing screams of the tethered horses. The air grew perceptibly colder, more suddenly so than is usual at November's brink, and seemed stirred by terrible undulations which I could not help connecting with the beating of huge wings." The story ends with the narrator waking up and claiming that "it was the most vivid dream in years, drawing upon wells of the subconscious long untouched and forgotten".
