Thank you for taking the time to download and listen to this year's scary festive tale. It's a real cracker this year- and you don't even have to wear the paper hat! The Tale of the Monkey's Paw in it's original form, as written by W.W. Jacobs, is a "3 wishes" story with a cautionary tale enclosed. Although subsequently made into several films, the original story remains the scariest and the best.

Jon Briggs is a journalist,  broadcaster and voice over. You may know him better as the original voice of Siri in the UK or the BBC's Weakest Link quiz show.
