In "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs, Sergeant-Major Morris arrives at the White family's house. He brings with him the mysterious monkey's paw and shares stories about its magical but dangerous powers. His visit marks the beginning of the family's fateful interactions with the paw and its consequences.
Major Morris throws the monkey's paw into the fire to try to keep anyone else from suffering because of it. He had kept it after using it, but now wants to destroy it, so that no one else would tempt fate by using powers beyond their control. White grabs it from the fire, and later uses it, to his lasting sorrow. (see the story at the related link)
Morris Major was created in 1958.
Sergeant Major Morris obtained the monkey's paw during his time serving in India. He received it from a fakir, who put a spell on it to grant three wishes to the holder, but warned that the wishes would come with consequences.
Eveyone can be tempted by the lure of having their wishes granted, and Mr. White (although skeptical) does not want the paw destroyed before he can see if it works. Morris, having used the paw, says he kept it to possibly sell it. But the implication is that he kept it to remind himself that men should not tamper with powers they cannot control.
The author said the monkeys paw came from India. So I think the tale was from India.
It is suspenful because mr. white is playing chess with his son.
