Jacobs builds suspense in the "monkeys Paw" by foreshadowing. the author drops hints to make the reader believe they know whats going to happen. also jacobs uses a technique called slowing down, he slows down intense parts of the story so it makes the reader anxious to know whats going to happen. last of all jacobs describes events in great detail to make everything seem more realistic. by using those three methods his horror story is great!
