  France, August 1572: three brothers of a Huguenot house ride for Paris, and the bells of St Germain l'Auxerrois are about to ring. Weyman failed at the bar and was briefly jailed in France as a suspected spy while on holiday; this was his first novel, and the massacre in it is the real thing — the streets, the white armbands, the doors marked in chalk. Fifty-eight plates of French court portraiture and allegory, including work by François Clouet and Antoine Caron, give a sixteenth-century face to the novel's world of noble conspiracy and massacre.

  A girl raised in the shabby end of literary London decides to become a writer, and finds the price is everything she was raised to want. Locke's first novel, published in 1894, before the charming vagabonds made him rich — this one is harder and colder than anything he wrote afterwards, and its heroine is not rewarded for being good. Fifty-five plates by painters including Walter Sickert and Dante Gabriel Rossetti follow the story through the shabby streets, studios and salerooms of the London the heroine is trying to escape.

  "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.
