If you were given the gift of but one wish, one wish in this whole wide world, what would it be?
If you've just shrieked "Wildly rich! Rich beyond the dreams of avarice!", then I fear I can't oblige you. If, instead, you offered the more modest answer of "Why, only for 'The Monkey's Paw' to be subject of the next Dreadful Thoughts Story Club!" then consider your wish fulfilled.1
- W. W. Jacobs' "The Monkey's Paw" (html), (pdf)
Read it, rehearse some witty things to say, and return to this damn'd spot on Monday, May 5th Tuesday, May 6th, at 9 pm. As always, newbies/virgins are most welcome.
In other (related) news a second volume in the Dreadful Thoughts Mixtape series has been initiated. It can be found here and, like before, your contributions are needed. For login details, leave a comment or mail me.
Finally, I promised Midget Wrangler that I would upload an image of the hard-won Filthy Badge "on my person" - so here it is.
It sits snugly beside the DT badge on the strap of my bag and, so far, they are getting along famously. I shall treasure it.
Story: "The Monkey's Paw"
Meeting: Monday, May 5th, Tuesday, May 6th, 9 p.m.

There’s a lot of space between Suicide, Judas Priest and Pram. Have fun.

April 29th, 2008 at 9:50 amThanks for the photo! Sorry it took a while to get to you, the army of flying monkeys are on strike again!
Enjoy!

No worries, Midge. I’m just delighted to have it.
Also relieved that the flying monkeys are on strike and that you opted for the somewhat less scary option of An Post.
