An unexpected guest at the Coach and Horses in Iping arouses the local's interest with his short temper and his completely covered face. Griffin is seeking solitude and quiet, but is soon forced from the village and finds temporary shelter in the home of an old university friend, Kemp. There, injured and fatigued, he tells his old friend how he discovered the secret to making himself invisible, and tries to join forces with him to use this new power to bring about a reign of terror.

In this new audio version, narrator Jake Urry vividly brings this classic H. G. Wells tale to life for 21st-century audiences.

H. G. Wells

H.G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English novelist who helped to define modern science fiction. Wells came from humble beginnings with a working-class family. As a teen, he was a draper’s assistant before earning a scholarship to the Normal School of Science. It was there that he expanded his horizons learning different subjects like physics and biology. Wells spent his free time writing stories, which eventually led to his groundbreaking debut, The Time Machine. It was quickly followed by other successful works like The Island of Doctor Moreau and The War of the Worlds.

Reviews for The Invisible Man

[Nick · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing suspense, horror, and science fiction wrapped up all in one.

The narrator is skilled and talented. He brings the the titular "Invisible Man" to life with a haunting performance.

This is my first time reading H.G. Wells and I will be moving straight to "The Time Machine" after thoroughly enjoying this story.

5/5 on the content and the voice actor's performance.
