The Monkey's Paw and Other Tales of Mystery and the Macabre

Jacobs was the author of 13 volumes of short stories, and 18 of these stories have been brought together for the first time in this gripping collection of macabre fiction. This book features Gothic narratives, stories of the macabre and supernatural tales. Many of them are also infused with shrewd and sardonic humour or which Jacobs was justifiably famous.
