The Gothic Short Stories by W.W. Jackobs

TheIS book consists of four scary stories written by different writterS.
"The Monkey´s Paw", the first one, tells a paw´s story that meAkes your wishes come true; but THE REALIZATION OF WISHES IS always followed of BY misfortunes.

The second one, "The Phantom Coach", is about a farmer lost in THE fieldS that he´Is accepted/TAKEN HOME? by a misterious man. This last one/MAN helps him to go back home on A horse cart. However, in the horse cart is full of phantonMs...

THE Nnext one, WHICH IS called "The Judge´s House" is about a student WHO decides to stay in a small town´s inn to study  better. ON The first day, the owner OF THE bar tells him that in the room chosen by the student (HAD ONCE) (?) (1) lived a judge, WHO which killed to everybody WHO SPENT THE NIGHT THERE (?).

IN THE Last one, "The Fall of The House of Usher", the narrator receiveS A LETTER FROM HIS a old friend Roderick´s letter SAYING that he´s very sick. The Roderick´s house is very old and, APART a part FROM of Roderick, his doctor, a servant and his sister live there. Roderick says to/TELLS the narrator that he and his sister have aN unkonwn illness that it HAS SPREAD was AROUND by the house.

I didn´t like this book because it´s too descriptive so you have to use a lot the dictionary A LOT to find/LOOK UP the thousands of adjeCtives.

(1) Did the judge (the judge's ghost, I suppose) still live there? or had he lived there in the past? It's unclear)
