The Monkey's Paw

Be careful what you wish for... you just might get... another Halloween bonus reading! This time we're telling the tale of "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. Perhaps one of the most perfectly encapsulated stories of desires gone wrong, the original tale has lost none of its power, despite countless retellings.

Be sure to also check out our bi-monthy musical podcast, "Playing By Ear" (https://playingbyear.fireside.fm).
