Answer:
Author W. W. Jacobs uses several devices to create the creepy atmosphere found in "The Monkey's Paw." The setting is an out-of-the way location and most of the story takes place at night, punctuated by wind and rain. The subject matter--the paw of a monkey--immediately draws the interest of virtually any reader. The mysterious nature of the paw and its origins further intrigue the reader; and the "three wishes" powers that it offers should make any reader stop and think about what three wishes they would choose. The sergeant's decision to fling such a powerful object into the fire for its destruction creates more mystery, and when the first wish comes true in such terrifying reality, we can only wonder what can come next. Jacobs' use of the supernatural should attract new readers in greater numbers today, since fantasy and horror stories and films are among the most popular with today's readers.
