About this listen

The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells is a chilling blend of science fiction and gothic horror that explores the perilous consequences of unchecked ambition. When a disfigured, bandaged stranger arrives in the quiet English village of Iping, his presence sparks rumors, suspicion, and eventually chaos. This stranger is Griffin—a brilliant scientist who has unlocked the secret to invisibility, but at the cost of his humanity.

As the townsfolk grow increasingly uneasy, Griffin’s unstable behavior and ruthless desperation begin to surface. What begins as scientific triumph descends into isolation, madness, and violence. In this gripping narrative, Wells masterfully weaves themes of identity, power, and the ethical limits of science.

Narrated by George Griffin, this classic tale resonates with eerie relevance, offering both a thrilling mystery and a powerful cautionary tale about the price of pursuing greatness without conscience.

This is a classic sci-fi novel by one of Britains greatest writers. So why have an American narrate it? The accent just didn’t ring true for me. Mispronunciations of Tottenham Court Rd and Oxford for example, along with stumbles over dialect were clear signs that the reader wasn’t familiar with the nuances of the London accent.
However this was reflected in the price so it didn’t stop me from enjoying the story, which has been rewritten and replicated many times in TV and Film. It was nice to hear the original.
