Discussion Notes: Monkey’s Paw Find this week’s story here: Monkey’s Paw by W. W. Jacobs Next week’s story: Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf Rated: Clean The Literary Roadhouse hosts discuss a classic horror story “Monkey’s Paw” by W. W. Jacobs. The story has become a pop culture reference and influenced many similar stories, and so our hosts couldn’t wait to meet the grandfather of ‘be careful what you wish for’ stories. Come for the horror, stay for a discussion on how to handle antiquated ideas on gender, race, and politics in older works of fiction.
