  Terror rises from the deep in this gripping maritime horror from the master of early science fiction. 
  When a retired tea-dealer named Mr. Fison takes a casual afternoon walk along the cliffs of Sidmouth, he expects nothing more than sea breeze and sunshine. Instead, he becomes the first living witness to a new species — a swarm of massive, intelligent, and shockingly aggressive cephalopods known as Haploteuthis ferox. What begins as curiosity quickly spirals into a frantic fight for survival as these tentacled predators crawl out of the surf, hunt along the tide pools, and launch deadly attacks on boats, swimmers, and the unprepared towns along the coast. 
  Blending scientific speculation with relentless suspense, H. G. Wells delivers a chilling tale of nature unchecked — a reminder that the ocean still holds secrets powerful enough to swallow humanity whole. With vivid performances by narrator Salathiel Reagan, this classic short story comes alive with atmospheric dread and pulse-pounding tension. 
  Perfect for fans of sea monsters, Victorian horror, and classic speculative fiction.

  The Magicians: A Knight In Time 
  A Magicians Time-Twist Adventure 
  When Empress Matilda and her brother, Robert of Gloucester, are ripped from their crusading century into modern Melbourne, history itself comes under magical siege. Ancient oaths clash with futuristic mysticism as they encounter the enigmatic Magicians — Fred, Ana, Blake, and Mortimer — allies sworn to protect time from chaos. But old fears die hard, and not even a dragon usher, an electric warlock, or the King of Death himself can convince the Normans they’re among friends. 
  Can a knight forge a truce with fate, or will the future fall to myth and madness? 
  An epic clash of timelines, faith, legacy, and otherworldly truth, where the past must reckon with powers beyond belief. Gothic, witty, and utterly original. 
  The Earl, Empress Matilda, and King Stephen are the author's direct ancestors.
