The Forgotten Worlds of H. G. Wells: 14 Classic Sci-Fi and Supernatural Short Stories, Including The Country of the Blind, The Crystal Egg, and The Door in the Wall

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.
