This was one of the scariest Stephen King stories i've ever read. The way he described the monkey i almost could feel its fur like i was holding the creepy thing my self. Did anyone else think this one was disturbing as well?

...egads!...I hate that death-rictus grin on that wind-up furball!....Yep, scary alright. I think GN always posts up a cracking monkey pic when he see's a thread about this story.

A couple of years ago, when I was listening to my local rock music radio station, the DJ made some comments about how creepy she found those wind-up monkeys with cymbals. So I phoned her up to ask "Did you know there's an old Stephen King story about one of those?" and gave her a quick summary of how the monkey worked. The DJ hadn't known about that story.
I had one very much like this when I was 2 or 3. I remember it would bang its symbols together and cease. Then, before bed, it would sporadically twitch and animate without my touching it. Battery glitch? Yes, of course....egads!...I hate that death-rictus grin on that wind-up furball!....

I should have been more scared of this - when I was about five I saw a live monkey that a guest had brought to our house - had a terrible nightmare about it that same night.This was one of the scariest Stephen King stories i've ever read.
