Science-Fiction today would not be the same without the influence of H.G. Wells. Books like The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and The Island of Dr. Moreau still feel timely over a hundred years later due to their look into technological advances, fantastical creatures, and their social commentary. Now, some of today's top science-fiction, fantasy, and mystery writers pay tribute to the great father of the fantastic. A Tribute to H.G. Wells, Stories Inspired by the Master of Science Fiction Volume 2: Visions of a Dark and Beautiful Future 2021 edition features all-new adventures inspired by his great work including The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and many more!

Selenites walk side-by-side with beasts padding uncomfortably along on two legs. We see, or do not see, invisible men scattering before lumbering tripods as we soar upwards into space, and hurtle ourselves through Time. There are utopias... and there are underworlds.

A Dark and Beautiful Future indeed.
