Jacobs is now remembered for his macabre tale ‚The Monkey’s Paw.‘ However, the majority of his output was humorous in tone. Michael Sadleir described Jacobs‘ fiction thus: ‚I wrote stories of three kinds, describing the misadventures of sailor-men ashore, celebrating the artful dodger of a slow-witted village, and such of the macabre.’In the seven selected short stories the reader will be able to know a little of each fascet of this versatile author.The Monkey’s Paw A Golden Venture A Love-Knot An Adulteration Act Back to Back Establishing Relations Captain Rogers
