How would you define the mood throughout the story “the monkey’s paw”?

The mood is dark and ominous--perfect for a horror story. In the opening chapter, it is a dark, windy and rainy night, and the Whites hear all sorts of sounds both outside and inside the house. The fireplace serves to warm and illuminate the house, but it also becomes a power of possible destructiveness (when the paw is tossed into it) and mystery (when Herbert sees faces in the flames).
