A classic H.G. Wells tale of the scientist, Griffin,
begins with the arrival of a stranger in the small Sussex village of Iping. At first, his
curious supply of bottles and chemistry equipment, while odd, seems harmless enough. But
when strange events happen, money disappears, windows break without explanation, and the
stranger is unable to pay his rent at the Coach and Horses, the natives get suspicious.
The ensuing flight of the Invisible Man and his "reign of terror" over the
helpless citizens of the small town catapults toward a riveting conclusion that will leave
the reader considering the nature of ambition and those who use any means at their
disposal to achieve a desirable end. Credit: Bob Hicks (pdcbob@aol.com) of America

by H.G. Wells, 1896. A fanatical scientist applies human
form to animals in this chilling tale of science gone mad. The Dr. will stop at nothing to
follow his research, and oddly enough has placed his creatures lives, his experimentation,
and his thirst for knowlege above the importance of human, and yes, his own life. Wells
does a marvelous job of bringing the different beasts to life and projecting the
motivation and desires of the mad Dr. Moreau. Credit: Bob Hicks (pdcbob@aol.com) of
