Dr Embers Verse and Tales
Dr Embers: Verse & Tale stories and poetry told by the fire.
Each week begins with a single thought — a line from a philosopher, poet, or thinker — and journeys through classic tales and original works that explore the themes shaping our lives.
Here, not all stories are told the same way.
Here, you are invited to sit by the fire.
Here, you may unwind and let your imagination wander to places you may never have been.
Ideas you may never have considered.
New episodes every Sunday.
The fire is lit.🔥
Dr Embers Verse and Tales
Dr Embers Presents: The Monkeys Paw — W. W. Jacobs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"We are our choices" - Jean-Paul Sartre
Three wishes offered.
Each seems harmless.
Each carries a cost unseen.
In this episode of Dr Embers: Verse & Tale, W. W. Jacobs’ classic short story The Monkey’s Paw is read by the fire — not as a warning, but as a journey into choice, consequence, and the quiet danger of wanting without understanding.
This is a story about decisions made in hope,
and the price paid when fate is asked to bend.
You are invited to sit by the hearth and listen closely —
for not every wish reveals its cost at the moment it is made.
