it was amazing
bookshelves: horror, wonderful

I remember reading this story (or a slightly modernized version of it) as a child, and I'm happy to tell you after reading the original version of the story it is still as impressive and outstanding as I've remembered.

It's a peerless piece of short story, the elements of horror and suspense are used masterfully by the author, it's nearly impossible to add more words into the text nor taking words away from it without damaging the story---The Monkey's Paw is perfect as it is. No wonder it's a classic.
