Book Overview

by H. G. Wells (Author), Anthony West (Introduction by)

H. G. Wells's spine-tingling and entertaining science fiction classic about a brilliant but volatile scientist who uncovers the secret to invisibility--a penetrating, unflinching look into the heart of human nature

With an introduction by Anthony West

An atmosphere of ever-increasing suspense begins with the arrival of a mysterious stranger at an English village inn and builds relentlessly to the stark terror of a victim pursued by a maniacal invisible man. To its author, H. G. Wells, the novel was as compelling as "a good gripping dream." But to generations of readers, the terrible and evil experiment of the demented scientist, Griffin, has conveyed a chilling nightmare of believable horror.

The result is a masterwork: a dazzling display of the brilliant imagination, psychological insight, and literary craftsmanship that made H. G. Wells one of the most influential writers of his time.
