Step beyond the Martians and time machines, and into the hidden depths of H. G. Wells' imagination.

The Forgotten Worlds of H. G. Wells is a powerful collection of 14 lesser-known short stories that reveal the author's full creative range - from cosmic catastrophe and eerie mystery to philosophical fables and supernatural visions. These tales showcase Wells not just as a pioneer of science fiction, but as a master storyteller with a deep understanding of human nature, fear, and wonder.

Inside, you'll encounter:

  • A valley where blindness is the norm - and sight is a curse.
  • A mysterious crystal egg that may hold a portal to Mars.
  • Sea creatures with a taste for coastal terror.
  • Dreams of civilisation's collapse, and visions of judgement.
  • Obsessions, regrets, strange suits, stars falling from the sky - and the fine line between genius and madness.

Whether you're a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, this beautifully curated collection offers a fresh look at Wells' forgotten gems - stories that remain as thought-provoking, imaginative, and unsettling today as when they were first penned.
