Book Synopsis The Monkey's Paw and Other Tales by : W.W. Jacobs
Download or read book The Monkey's Paw and Other Tales written by W.W. Jacobs and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteen humorous tales of the macabre and supernatural from W.W. Jacobs, including his classic, “The Monkey’s Paw.” Considered one of the foremost humorists in England at the turn of the century, W.W. Jacobs (1863–1943) is best known for his masterpiece of horror, “The Monkey’s Paw.” He was the author of thirteen volumes of short stories—all of which were commercially successful—and eighteen of these are included together for the first time in this gripping collection of macabre fiction. This book features Gothic narratives, stories of the macabre and supernatural tales. But they are also infused with shrewd and sardonic humor, for which Jacobs was justifiably famous. They demonstrate vividly his masterful instinct for weaving terror and suspense into scenes of ordinary life. His boyhood memories of South Devon Wharf lend authenticity to the many stories with nautical backgrounds or that feature seamen as protagonists. Because of its immense popularity, “The Monkey’s Paw” has tended to overshadow a good deal of Jacobs’ other work, and it is undoubtedly the most readily recognized and by far the most anthologized story in the collection. But readers will be delighted to know that Jacobs’ craftmanship is abundantly apparent in many of his other tales, as they will discover in this volume. Horror and mystery aficionados will be intrigued and delighted by his range of skillful and witty prose; and they will at last come to appreciate a writer whose other work has been for so long “lost” to the general public. “Eighteen of [Jacobs’] admirably rich stories are gathered in this collection, which shows off to advantage his absolute mastery of the form. Obvious in his stories is a vein of humor, regardless of whether they are conventional mysteries or tales of the macabre or the supernatural. . . . These stories will be at home in the hands of any admirer of the form.” —Booklist
