About this listen

When Sergeant Major Morris brings a mummified monkey’s paw to the White family, they embrace it as a morbid curiosity. When they learn that an old Fakir has enchanted the paw, they continue to treat the thing lightly. But the workings of the paw, once set in motion, cannot be undone, no matter what they try.

The story was brilliant but I found the narrator a little wooden, not terrible, certainly listenable but could be better.

Story wise, cool, suspenseful and nice to follow. Good quick story to listen to before bed 🖤
