W. W. Jacobs - A New Short Story Anthology (with bonus materials)
ByPublisher Description
This new short story anthology brings together some of the most well-known works of William Wymark Jacobs, known to the world as W. W. Jacobs.
Here you will find a collection of seven short stories, in many different genres. Included is the Darkly Gothic Horror short story, The Monkey's Paw. This story has inspired at least a half dozen different film adaptations, and it tells the story of how greed rules men, and their decisions are often governed by repercussions they have not considered.
This is the horrible outcome for The Monkey's Paw.
Much of what influenced Jacobs in his childhood, including his time with brothers and sisters growing up on the River Thames, influenced his writing topics and voice.
These writings infuse the history Jacobs witnessed and experienced, creating a foundational template in which his characters live and interact.
