Both stories delve into human greed, fear, and the unsettling power of the unknown, leaving readers with a lasting sense of unease. Jacobs's work remains a masterclass in atmospheric and psychological horror.

Autorenporträt
William Wymark "W. W." Jacobs (1863 - 1943) was an English author of short stories and novels. Although much of his work was humorous, he is most famous for his horror story "The Monkey's Paw". Jacobs was born in Wapping, London; his father was a wharf manager at the South Devon wharf at Lower East Smithfield. He was educated at a private school in London and later at Birkbeck College (then called Birkbeck Literary and Scientific Institution, now part of the University of London).
