Description

It’s a dark brooding tale which promises from the start that the light you see at the end of the tunnel is actually an oncoming train. Mr and Mrs White of Laburnum Villas step out toward that light by taking up the three wishes granted to the owner of the Monkey’s Paw. Terrible things have happened to previous owners of this artifact but surely the Whites will fare better than those who have gone before…

    This book was terrible and old fashioned. I didn't understand one word and I am a civilized writer. What was this supposed to be black magic, or just a lady screaming for her kid. This story was also left in the middle. Did the husband kill his kid again? What was he afraid of?
  • Enjoyable! Never can stop reading!
