The Invisible Man is a dazzling display of imagination and psychological insight. It is the classic tale of a young scientist who, by experimenting on himself, becomes both invisible and criminally insane. Considered by many to be Wells's masterwork, the novel powerfully depicts the horror of a man trapped within a terror of his own creation.

- H.G. Wells once wrote "My fantastic stories... do not pretend to deal with possible things. They aim indeed only at the same amount of conviction as one gets in a good gripping dream." But as generations of readers have known, H.G. Wells's gripping dreams are consummate science fiction - they are convincing and unforgettably real.
