Six continuations. One host. The strange made stranger.
Each of these novelettes picks up where a classic H.G. Wells short story left off and follows it somewhere new — introduced and closed by a genial, unnamed host who collects such mysteries and cannot resist telling them. Standalone ebooks, released monthly from September 2026; a collected edition with the original Wells stories follows.
