This popular short story is found in many anthologies. There are too many to list them all, but here are a few:

The Monkey's Tale and Other Tales of Mystery and the Macabre by W.W. Jacobs

Great Stories of Horror and Suspense: The Monkey's Paw, Hop-Frog, and 13 more by Poe, London, Jacobs, and Dickens

The Raven and the Monkey's Paw: Classics of Horror and Suspense from the Modern Library by Poe and Jacobs
