The Time Machine

"At a Victorian dinner party in Richmond, London, the Time Traveller tells his extraordinary tale of humankind's future in the year 802,701 AD. It is a dystopian vision of Darwinian evolution, with humans split into an above-ground species of Eloi, and their troglodyte brothers. The first book H. G. Wells published, 'The Time Machine' is a scientific romance that helped invent the genre of science fiction. The work is credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. In fact, the term 'time machine' was coined by H. G. Wells."

3 Stories - Fantasy

"There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears.01 - 3 Stories - Fantasy02 - The Man Who Could Work Miracles by H G Wells03 - When I Was a Witch by Charlotte Perkins Gilman04 - The Clock That Went Backward by Edward Page Mitchell"

The Foundations of Fiction - Dystopian

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time? Or can they sniff out an opportunity as to which way the tastes of an audience are moving. Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. We all fear the world will end badly. Even worse that we might be caught up in it. In this volume our authors summon up stories which illustrate and flavour our thinking and imaginings on just how a society would reach that precipice, how it would ultimately be.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Dystopian - An Introduction2 - A Dream of Armageddon by H G Wells3 - The Park of Kings by Alexander Kuprin4 - Into the Sun by Robert Duncan Milne5 - The Cloud-Men by Owen Oliver6 - The Republic of the Southern Cross by Valery Bryusov7 - The End of the World by Simon Newcomb8 - The World's Last Cataclysm by Robert Duncan Milne9 - Within An Ace of the End of the World by Robert Barr10 - Christmas Formula by Stella Benson11 - The Repairer of Reputations by Robert W Chambers"

Classic Sci-Fi Horror Stories

"Science fiction is in many ways positive, uplifting and a vision of where we are headed. But in this volume our classic authors including Lovecraft, Wells, Hawthorne and others reveal its darker cousin; Horror.

The Foundations of Fiction - The Murder Mystery

"In this series we turn the pages of classic short stories to put together the literary building blocks of how a particular genre or theme began, how it built its foundations to become the well-loved and well-worn genre that it is today.Do authors have the same ideas at more or less the same time?

Success undoubtedly builds success and in literary terms we can more politely say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to reach a hungry readership is to build on the fortune and flair of your literary colleagues. The Whodunit is one of the great themes of literary fiction. We all believe that given the right clue at the right time we can deduce and logically unmask the killer. Unfortunately, our authors are not the most helpful of co-workers in this regard. With their more than liberal use of plot twists, red herrings and McGuffins they merrily ensure that the only one who really knows is them and them alone until it is time to reveal who really did the deed, and how.01 - Foundations of Fiction - Murder Mystery - An Introduction2 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe3 - Markheim by Robert Louis Stevenson4 - A Thousand Deaths by Jack London5 - The Trial for Murder by Charles Dickens6 - A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell7 - Better Dead by J M Barrie8 - The Cone by H G Wells9 - The Hounds of Fate by Saki10 - The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railroad by Baroness Emmuska Orczy11 - The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce12 - The Corpse Light by J E Preston Muddock writing as Dick Donovan13 - A Thing That Glistened by Frank R Stockton14 - Nightmare in Yellow by Fredric Brown15 - Was It An Illusion.

The Star: The Fire in the Sky: Humanity’s Moment of Truth

"The Star by H. G. Wells - As a mysterious star hurtles toward Earth, bringing with it unprecedented chaos and destruction, humanity grapples with the impending apocalypse and the uncertain fate of their world. Amidst the turmoil, a diverse array of individuals—from scientists to lovers, from scholars to refugees—navigate the cataclysmic events and search for meaning in the face of annihilation. It was on the first day of the new year that the announcement was made, almost simultaneously from three observatories, that the motion of the planet Neptune, the outermost of all the planets that wheeled about the sun, had become erratic. Ogilvy had already called attention to a suspected retardation in its velocity in December. Such a piece of news was scarcely calculated to interest the world the greater portion of whose inhabitants were unaware of the existence of the planet Neptune, nor outside the astronomical profession did the subsequent discovery of a faint remote speck of light in the region of the perturbed planet cause any great excitement. Scientific people, however, found the intelligence remarkable enough, even before it became known that the new body was rapidly growing larger and brighter, that its motion was quite different from the orderly progress of the planets, and that the deflection of Neptune and its satellite was becoming now of an unprecedented kind. Few people without training in science can realize the huge isolation of the solar system. The sun with its specks of planets, its dust of planetoids, and its impalpable comets swims in vacant immensity that almost defeats the imagination."
