About this listen
The Monkey's Paw is narrated by Audie Award–winning narrator Gildart Jackson, creator of Fireside Reading.
A single wish. A terrible price.
When an ordinary family is given a mysterious talisman said to grant three wishes, it feels at first like nothing more than a curiosity. But when a wish is made, the consequences arrive with a quiet, devastating force—and nothing will ever be the same again.
W. W. Jacobs’ The Monkey’s Paw is one of the most enduring tales of suspense ever written: a story not of sudden shocks, but of mounting dread, where every moment feels inevitable and every choice carries weight.
This audiobook performance is crafted with precision and restraint, allowing the tension to build naturally and the emotional impact to land with full force. Rather than rushing the story, it draws you in—line by line—until the atmosphere itself becomes unsettling.
For listeners who appreciate intelligent suspense, classic storytelling, and a narration that trusts the material, this is a version that stays with you long after the final word.
Be careful what you wish for.
