The Monkey's Paw

The Monkey's Paw
In your darkest hour, what would you wish for? In Edwardian London, newlyweds John and Jenny White set up home together. They look forward to a happy and prosperous life, their home echoing with the laughter of their children. As the years pass, things do not turn out the way they had hoped. Living in an isolated cottage on a pitch-black street, with a world war rumbling away in the background and the price of everything going through the roof, John and Jenny face the ravages of poverty and childlessness. One day, a mysterious, ancient object comes into their possession, a ghoulish talisman that seems to grant wishes. Could this be the remedy for all their troubles? Or is it something more sinister, with the power to plunge them into far deeper miseries? Adapted from the macabre Edwardian ghost story by W. W. Jacobs, we bring you a re-imagining of The Monkey's Paw: a spine-tingling warning of the dangers of meddling with fate and a chilling reminder to be careful what you wish for.
