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 PawA Golden VentureA Love-KnotAn Adulteration Act Back to BackEstablishing Relations Captain Rogers
