Answer:

"The Monkey´s Paw" is a short story that was written by W. W. Jacobs and it was published in 1902. The story narrates the events that take place in the lives of the Whites, an elderly father, and elderly mother and a grown son, who happen to receive the visit of a friend who gives them a Monkey´s Paw, a magical item that will grant three wishes. Disbeliving of the story, Mr. White decides to try it out, just to show his family  that everything is just a story, but then, all three start realizing that everything their friend said, was true, including the warnings.

The author builds up on the mood of mystery, and thrill, around the very idea of magic, and a magical item, by setting first a really mysterious and even frightening background to the story: "the night was cold and wet", and them living far out from civilization, almost isolated. Then the friend, Sergeant-Major Norris, appears and after showing them the Monkey´s Paw, he also warns them that it is dangerous; that it will grant three wishes, but that the consequences will be unexpected and dangerous. These words further increase that sense of thrill, and also a foreboding.

Mr. White, trying not to believe the horror stories told by his friend, gives in and tries the wish thing, but nothing happens at first. They all dismiss the Paw as just another fantastical story. In the end, after their son dies to grant them their first wish, and when the time comes for the final wish, the level of mystery reaches and all-time high, and the reader feels just as much thrill and fear as Mr. White himself, when they hear the knocking on the door, after they wish their son could be returned to them from the dead.

Words, and imagery are the best way in which this author manages to convey that sense of thrill, foreboding and mystery.
