The Monkey's Paw
Classic horror tale. A family and their son Herbert are visited by an old soldier named Morris. He tells them from his time in India and shows them a mysterious talisman, the monkey's paw. According to him the owner of the paw has three wishes. Since he already had three he throw the object into the fire. Herbert's father is getting the talisman out of the fire and from here the horror starts. If you want to know how the family got the wished for 200 pounds you should take a peek now. The story is set up in three chapters and is very creepy. Stephen King certainly had this story in mind when writing Pet Cemetery... Can you guess what the father's final wish was? A classic and absolutely recommended.
