With an allusion to The Illustrated Man. Excellent timing.
“It has a spell put on it by an old fakir,” said the sergeant-major, “a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people’s lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it.”
A fascinating classic horror story that has definitely withstood the test of time. I don’t usually enjoy short stories but it seems Jacobs knew his craft because he didn’t leave us wanting.
I can still remember the first time I bought this book, it was the first Simpsons Comic I bought and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I don't know whether I still have it in the house, however I remember LOVING the three pictures at the back of the book and loving the stories contained within. I haven't read many of the comics but if they are half as good as this one then I missed out as a kid.
