Welcome to the audio version of "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs. Written in 1902, and available in "The Lady of the Barge" in 1906, this is a fairly straight-forward horror story. Essentially, the reader is forced to ask themselves: What happens when you make a wish? Does the universe ask for payment in return?

The annotations are not complete, but they are on their way! For now, you can view a QuickTime movie of the story with audio. The audio is not very loud due to a computer problem that is going to be fixed soon! Can you believe that the reader made a very small mistake on the first slide? Instead of saying "king" the word "knight" was substsituted! Ouch - this will have to be fixed!
