  The Land of the Changing Sun - A...

  Will N. Harben

  A hidden kingdom under a mountain, lit by an artificial sun that is beginning to fail — and a king who has bred his people for beauty and disposes of the rest. Harben clerked in a Georgia store until he was thirty and then made the north Georgia hills his subject; Howells called him one of the best American realists, which makes this 1894 scientific romance the odd book on his shelf, and a startling one. Forty-nine plates of mountain painting by Thomas Cole and Edvard Munch, from 1812 to 1928, answer the peaks of this hidden kingdom with the peaks of art.

  Jane Eyre - An Autobiography

  Charlotte Brontë

  A plain, poor governess falls in love with her employer and discovers what he keeps locked on the third floor. Charlotte Brontë published it as Currer Bell because reviewers judged women's books by different rules; when the secret came out, the same critics who had praised its power called it coarse. The book is written in the first person and addresses the reader directly, which in 1847 was itself a kind of insolence. Its 60 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.

  Invisible Man The: A Grotesque...

  Herbert George Wells

  “I am all here—head, hands, legs, and all the rest of it, but it happens I’m invisible.” 
  When a mysterious stranger arrives at the Coach and Horses inn during a biting snowstorm, he is wrapped head-to-foot in bandages, his eyes hidden behind enormous blue goggles. The villagers of Iping are initially curious, then suspicious, and finally terrified as they realize that the linen wrappings conceal not a scarred man, but an impossible vacancy. Griffin, a brilliant but unhinged scientist, has discovered the secret of invisibility, but in doing so, he has severed his connection to humanity. As his power grows, so does his megalomania, leading to a reign of terror, burglary, and a desperate flight across the English countryside. 
  Why you will love this: The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance is a foundational pillar of Science Fiction and Psychological Horror. This production captures the claustrophobic tension of a small town meeting a modern god, exploring the Hard Science Fiction concepts of light refraction alongside the literary themes of moral decay and social isolation. Narrated by Michael Craig, the story breathes with cinematic atmosphere and Victorian dread. 
  Herbert George Wells, often called the 'Father of Science Fiction,' published this masterpiece in 1897. His ability to blend grounded, scientific speculation with profound social commentary remains unparalleled in the history of English literature.

  The Eye of the Camera - From...

  Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12th October 1857, in St Johns Wood, North London.  
  By his early 20’s Heldmann began publishing fiction for the myriad magazine publications that had sprung up and were eager for good well-written content.  
  In October 1882, Heldmann was promoted to co-editor of Union Jack, a popular magazine, but his association with the publication ended suddenly in June 1883.  It appears Heldman was prone to issuing forged cheques to finance his lifestyle.  In April 1884 he was sentenced to 18 months hard labour. 
  In order to be well away from the scandal and the damage that this had caused to his reputation Heldmann adopted a pseudonym on his release from jail.  Shortly thereafter the name ‘Richard Marsh’ began to appear in the literary periodicals.  The use of his mother’s maiden name as part of it seems both a release and a lifeline. 
  A stroke of very good fortune arrived with his novel ‘The Beetle’ published in 1897.  This would turn out to be his greatest commercial success and added some much-needed gravitas to his literary reputation.   
  Marsh was a prolific writer and wrote almost 80 volumes of fiction as well as many short stories, across many genres from horror and crime to romance and humour.   His unusual characters, plotting devices and other literary developments have identified his legacy as one of the best British writers of his time.   
  Richard Marsh died from heart disease in Haywards Heath in Sussex on 9th August 1915.  He was 57.
