The Monkey's Paw | W. W. Jacobs
post image
Pickpick

Put this on your list for a perfect October read. It‘s a short story that says a lot in just a few pages. When a visitor brings a cursed monkey‘s paw back from his travels and claims it will grant the owner three wishes, he also warns them not to use it. Ray Bradbury cites this as the inspiration for one of his stories in The Martian Chronicles. I‘ll be thinking about this one for a long time.

Doing a quick cleanse of my pallet before we start September reads, but no better way to start the Ber months than with some cute Halloween kid stories. My favorite here is zombies don‘t eat veggies. Hispanic parents trying to convince their kid that he needs to eat brains when all the kid wants to do is eat veggies, zombie style… Lol. Super cute one about accepting who you are while accepting others for who they are.

The Birds | Daphne Du Maurier, Derek Strange

From another favorite movie of mine, The Birds.

The flapping of wings,
trapped like a bird in a cage;
predator now prey.

A story aimed at children, focusing on living life at a normal pace and not trying to grow up too fast.

TieDyeDude Sounds like a nice read. 10mo
