A tense and unsettling classic novel about a terrifying scientific discovery from one of the masters of science fiction, H.G. Wells. A mysterious stranger arrives at a local Sussex inn on a cold winter's night, cloaked in bandages from head to toe and dripping from the rain. Griffin locks himself in his room and spends his stay labouring over chemicals in intricate glass bottles. The villagers, bewildered by what lurks under Griffin's bandages, could never be prepared for the terrible truth: that Griffin is a scientist who has rendered himself invisible and is desperately struggling to find an antidote. He flees to the South Downs in search of someone he can trust, but this only isolates him further and he embarks on a 'Reign of Terror'.
