Dark sleep story
The Monkey's Paw: After Midnight
Tonight's story returns to the White house after midnight, where a storm presses at the windows and an old soldier brings home a charm with three terrible wishes folded into its fingers. This Black Water Harbor reading is paced for dark sleep: intimate, ominous, and slow, with dread gathering around the door long before the final knock.
