"Oh great, more paperwork!" moaned a man in a blue top hat and tux in a mask. He was known as Blue Midnight, a superhero. His son hit him on the back and laughed. "You love paperwork what are you worried about," said his son laughing. 
"Get out of my hair boy," Blake snapped at his son Lance who was dress similarly in blue. 
"You'd think you didn't love me," said his son sarcastically. 
"Not now I'm on a case Enchanter," Blake then said accusingly "The Necromancer Murdered another person." 
"Oh, that is terrible! Did I know them?" Lance asked. 
"You tell me! We can't id them. We are going to have to do DNA tests and tooth tests, not much left of them," Blake said disgustedly. 
"That bad eh!" Lance said sadly. 
"That's not the only one, he struck again yesterday," Blake said. 
Lance lost the sarcastic manner he had. He looked shocked. 
"The other murder wasn't him someone framed him! He's innocent as a lamb," Lance said. 
“I could never call him a lamb, he's a wolf,” Blake said.

Step beyond the time machine and into the untold realms of H. G. Wells.
 
The Forgotten Worlds of H. G. Wells is a curated collection of 14 masterfully written short stories — strange, stirring, and visionary tales that have quietly stood in the shadow of his more famous works. Here, Wells explores the edges of science, consciousness, and the unknown with unsettling brilliance and lyrical force.
 
Narrated with calm intensity by Lucy Walker, these lesser-known stories range from cosmic catastrophes and sea-dwelling horrors to mysterious artefacts, moral dilemmas, and eerie fables that echo across time. Whether it's the haunting tranquility of The Door in the Wall, the unnerving realism of The Star, or the psychological twists of The Moth, each story invites you to see the world — and the human condition — through Wells’ radically curious lens.
 
Perfect for fans of classic speculative fiction, thoughtful science fiction, and the weirdly wonderful, this audiobook revives the forgotten gems of a literary pioneer. If you’ve only read Wells for Martians and machines, you’re only scratching the surface.
