Welcome, wanderers of the night…

During October, Petra’s Dark and Dreamy invites you to step through shadowed corridors and moonlit graveyards, where the whispers of the uncanny and the echoes of the forgotten stir. Join us as we count down to All Hallows’ Eve with tales that chill, enchant, and linger long after the candle flickers out. Tonight, the darkness calls — will you answer?

"The Monkey's Paw" is a short story by W.W. Jacobs that explores themes of fate, consequence, and the dangers of tampering with the natural order.
