"The Monkey's Paw" is a horrorshort story by English author W.
W. Jacobs. It first appeared in Harper's Monthly in September, 1902,[1] and was reprinted in his third collection of short stories, The Lady of the Barge, later that year.[2] In the story, three wishes are granted to the owner of The Monkey's Paw, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate.[3]
It has been adapted many times in other media, including plays, films, TV series, operas, stories and comics, as early as 1903.[4]
