The “and Horrific” series is an original Mint Editions publication that brings together the work of five individual authors who produced cross-genre fiction throughout their literary careers.Scientific and Horrific Stories is a collection of short fiction by H. G. Wells, also known as the father of science fiction.Wells' most celebrated works include: The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), and The War of the Worlds (1898).H. G. Wells is known as a futurist, and almost prophetically wrote about aircrafts, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, and something resembling the Internet, all in the late 1800s. He was also an outspoken socialist, and his later works were more political than science fiction.
