The Monkey's Paw

edit: bumping it up a star because it fuelled a nightmare last night, so I guess it affected me more than I thought



SPOILER

I just wish it wasn't left so open ended and instead hinted towards the truth, because I was really looking forward to the direction the author would take in terms of resurrecting the son. It's super cool to see people's theories though

Eek! Call me a dunce for not having heard about this, but I expected from the cover on Project Gutenburg that this was a seafaring-type story...and once I started I couldn't stop. It's probably going to be awhile before I risk this author again. The writing is definitely gripping, but I don't like tragedy or horror, so I didn't like this. The second star is only for the excellence of the author's prose, not for the story!
