Description
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.  We think we are the only annual podcast in the world - publishing every Christmas Eve - so thank you for your support and coming back every year.
