The Stolen Bacillus and Other Incidents

H.G. Wells’ early masterpiece, The Stolen Bacillus and Other Incidents, is a striking collection of fifteen tales where scientific curiosity meets the uncanny. From an anarchist plotting with a deadly germ to man-eating orchids and prehistoric survivors, these stories explore the thin line between Victorian order and primal chaos. Blending dark humor with suspense, Wells examines the dangers of obsession and the fragility of human perception in a rapidly changing world.
