In this thrilling tale of alien invasion, H. G. Wells reframes the science fiction genre. Following the travails of an unnamed narrator, The War of the Worlds reveals the true terror of life under an implacable foe. Armed with terrifying machines and Heat-Rays, the Martians arrive in London and quickly subdue the British forces. Faced with extraordinary odds, the survival of the human race is at stake.
The Time Machine & Other Stories

This collection includes Wells' most entertaining short stories, such as 'The Stolen Bacillus', a warning of the dangers of science, and 'The Country of the Blind', capturing life in a strange world. These tales showcase the enigmatic mind of one of Britain's most talented writers, remaining powerful and meaningful today.

Unable to reverse the experiment, he is driven insane. This seminal tale serves as a warning about unintended consequences, offering a penetrating look into the heart of human nature.
The Island of Doctor Moreau
On a remote island, Dr. Moreau conducts experiments to transform animals into humans. This chilling narrative explores themes of ethics and the nature of humanity, as the protagonist grapples with the consequences of Moreau's actions. A thought-provoking tale that questions the limits of science and morality.

In this imaginative story, a Victorian scientist travels to the Moon, encountering a strange civilization. Wells explores themes of exploration and the unknown, blending adventure with social commentary. This pioneering work remains a cornerstone of science fiction literature.
