A brilliant mind revealed

This collection displays the range of H. G. Wells as a writer.
There is fantasy, science fiction, and horror, as well as mundane domestic conflict.
There are cryptozoological encounters, treasure hunts, and murder. There is comedy, tragedy, foreign adventure, business intrigue, and illicit romance.

None of these stories is particularly special, but all are unique. I have never read any of them before.
