The Invisible Man

H. G. Wells

Sinopse

"I am all men—and I am no man. I am the Invisible Man."

In the dead of winter, a mysterious stranger arrives at a quiet inn in the village of Iping, his face swathed in bandages and his eyes hidden behind dark goggles. This is Griffin, a brilliant scientist who has discovered the secret to making human tissue transparent. But his breakthrough is his undoing. Trapped in a state of invisibility and hunted by a world that fears what it cannot see, Griffin's initial dream of power curdles into a violent obsession. As he attempts to establish a "Reign of Terror," the story becomes a pulse-pounding race against a man who can strike from nowhere.

The Anatomy of an Anti-Hero: Griffin is not your typical Victorian protagonist. He is irritable, brilliant, and increasingly sociopathic. Wells uses invisibility as a metaphor for the ultimate freedom from social accountability. Without a face to recognize or a body to imprison, Griffin believes he is above morality, leading to a chilling study of how absolute power (or the illusion of it) corrupts the soul.

A Village Under Siege: The novel masterfully shifts from the "weird tale" atmosphere of the Iping countryside to a high-stakes manhunt across England. Through the characters of the bumbling tramp Thomas Marvel and the rational Dr. Kemp, Wells explores the societal reaction to the "invisible threat." The tension builds to a climactic confrontation that remains one of the most memorable endings in the history of science fiction.

Witness the terror of the unseen. Purchase "The Invisible Man" today and confront the darkness of the human heart.

Undead The: Part 27 - Winchester

R.R. Haywood

The 27th installment in the UK's Bestselling Horror Series. When a deadly infection spreads across Europe, supermarket manager Howie’s ordinary life is thrown into chaos. As the world crumbles around him, he teams up with his autistic best mate, Dave and a ragtag group of misfits to face an enemy unlike any other—the undead. But this isn’t just any infection. It evolves. It learns. And it’s getting smarter every day. Howie soon learns that nothing is quite what it seems - and neither is he. 
 
With fast-paced, blistering action, The Undead series follows Howie and Dave and their unlikely friends as they become the only hope for humanity pitted in a race against time to stop the infection before it becomes clevererer than them. Which honestly wouldn't be that hard. 
 
The Undead has grown to become an iconic British series, redefining zombie horror with rich, unparalleled characterisation—seldom seen outside of literary fiction. But The Undead becomes far more than a zombie story. This is a tale of loyalty and friendship, of how we bond and how far we will go for the people we love. Its catchphrases have become part of everyday language for its readers, and its razor-sharp humour reflects the stupidity and greed of humanity, while still offering hope that we can rise above and do the right thing.
