  "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces a mysterious and disfigured stranger who arrives in the quiet village of Iping, leading to a series of unsettling and bewildering events that disrupt the lives of the locals.  
  The central character, the Invisible Man, struggles with the consequences of his unique condition, which brings both power and alienation. At the beginning of the novel, we meet the stranger as he arrives at the "Coach and Horses" inn on a cold winter day. Wrapped in layers of clothing to conceal his appearance, he exhibits peculiar behaviors that alarm the innkeeper and other residents. His bandaged head and weariness suggest that he has endured some trauma, fostering intrigue and suspicion among the townsfolk.  
  As the narrative unfolds, a sense of isolation surrounds his character, hinting at deeper themes of identity, societal acceptance, and the moral implications of scientific experimentation. The opening chapters build a mystery around his true nature and set the stage for a blend of horror and thought-provoking commentary on humanity.

  Saturnalia - A Novel

  The Saturnalia carnival marks three years since Nina walked away from Philadelphia's elite Saturn Club—with its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking interest in alchemy and the occult. In doing so, she abandoned her closest friends and her chance to climb the social ladder. Since then, she's eked out a living by telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot deck, a solemn initiation gift that Nina always considered a gag but has turned out to be more useful than she could have ever imagined. 
   
   
   
  For most, the Saturnalia carnival marks a brief winter reprieve for the beleaguered people of the historic city, which is being eroded by extreme weather, a collapsing economy, and feverish summers—whose disease carrying mosquitos are perhaps the only thing one can count on. Like Thanksgiving or Halloween, Saturnalia has become a purely American holiday despite its pagan roots; and nearly everyone, rich or poor, forgets their troubles for a moment. 
   
    
   
  For Nina, Saturnalia is simply a cruel reminder of the night that changed everything for her. But when she gets a chance call from Max, one of the Saturn Club's best-connected members and her last remaining friend, the favor he asks will plunge her back into the Club's wild solstice masquerade, on a mysterious errand she cannot say no to.
