The Invisible Man by H G Wells

Read by Jim Fleming
Setting the mood for Halloween, it’s HG Wells’ science fiction/horror classic! A strange man comes to stay at the “Coach and Horses” in Iping. The man is covered in bandages. The owner of the establishment, a Mrs. Hall, assumes the man was in an accident and is horribly disfigured and ashamed. But the bandages are hiding something much more sinister.
