H.G, Wells' timeless story of arrogance and monstrosity caused consternation when it was first released. Edward Prendick is stranded on a remote Pacific island with only a drunk and a disgraced scientist for company - and a whole, subhuman community of monsters spliced together from the bodies of exotic animals by Doctor Moreau, intent on creating human-like intelligent life from dumb beasts. But his methods are cruel, and his failures litter the island, slowly regressing to their baser natures. Prendick must find a way through this madness and find his way back to civilisation - or die trying, Thsi gripping novel from science fiction pioneer H.G. Wells challenges readers with some profound and unsettling questions: are there limits to our ambition? Do we dare meddle with life itself? And what (if anything) is it that sets us apart from the animals?A new foreword sets the context for this ground-breaking novel from the father of Science Fiction and traces its roots from the monster-creators Dr Frankenstein and Henry Jekyll to its modern offspring in Jurassic Park and elsewhere, exploring time-honed themes of arrogance, pride and humility.A Wyldblood Classics edition.

Two classic tales featuring Robert E Howard's legendary warrior hero: Conan, a savage hero in a fantasy world populated by sorcerers, warriors and monsters. He's a warrior from the Northern wastes of Cimmeria, fighting his way through soft-bellied Hyboria and on to the Throne. This is worldbuilding on an epic scale, and Conan is the compelling hero at the centre of a wild ride of intrigue and mayhem. The lands that Conan stalks through are savage in tooth and claw - his age is a time of chaos and destruction, of empires and wizards, of battles won and loves lost. Shadows in the Moonlight pits Conan against the mysterious Red Brotherhood on a remote island, with dark dreams of men turned to statues and giant beasts lurking in the jungle.The Hour of the Dragon, later republished as Conan the Conqueror, was Robert E. Howard's longest and last Conan story. Conan, who has fought his way to become King of Aquilonia, is betrayed and thrown into his own dungeons and must fight traitors, a long dead wizard resurrected by dark powers monsters and his own demons to escape and regain his throne.Will he succeed? In the savage land of Conan the Barbarian anything is possible. The only certainty is that success in the Hyborian age comes at a price - and that price is blood.

Twelve grisly new tales of fur and fury in this brand new anthology of werewolf stories from Wyldblood Press. Liam Hogan's The Mortsafe, full of gothic darkness, Holly Rae Garcia's Werewolf's Lament (because werewolves have feelings too), Chris Muscato's Howling on the Moon. Werewolves in space - and right in the place where it all happens for them. Full moon all the time - kill or cure, right? Then M.T Johnson's Ivanwolf tells a very human story of some decidedly inhuman happenings.Holly Barratt's Rabbit Ears in the Laundry helps us face up to some of the more troublesome consequences of living with a werewolf, but the mood swiftly darkens with the tense suspense of Eric Nash's unsettling Rewilding. Laura Garrity's The Lodger explores what happens when the new guy in the spare bedroom suddenly has more fur than a landlady has a right to expect, followed by a tale of doomed love - The Wolf is Always at Your Door by E.J Sidle, and C. H. Knyght's To Prey which (spoiler) is nothing to do with going to church. Then a pause with the quirky Walking Dog by David J Rank before settling into a fine lupine love story - Adam Stemple's Werewolf Eulogy. Then full circle with the Big L - like the opener the Mortsafe, this is a story of how to tame the curse, but with a very different outcome.

The second issue of a new science fiction and fantasy magazine - Wyldblood's eleven stories range from high fantasy to deep and gritty sci-fi. In The Lamplighter's Daughter obligation brings safety but freedom courts disaster - which will she choose? In Last Wish the first two bring you trouble - can your third wish bring salvation? Survival and sacrifice cloud The Last Woman on Mars - can she beat the odds? She'll have to fight the last man on Mars first. Little Buddy takes a dinosaur to highlight real humanity, and Dust and Memories explores how we cling on to the past - and how to let go. Plant Man tells the story of a guy in a beat up white van greening the Deep South. He's not all he seems, though - watch out for those sharp pointy little horns. And Interview with Sole Refugee from the A303 Incident crawls over the traffic snarlup from hell, possibly literally. Imagine a future where ads run in your brain, 24/7. And the only way to avoid them is to embrace them? No One Goes Lonely explores the future in your head - and how to remove it. Malfunctioning androids in They Don't Make Them Like They Used To, disasterous body-swapping in Ask Me About the Old Quarry and a weird wild west Ostrich tale, Plumes, round off the stories Readers of the first issue thought "Each piece was completely unique and stunningly creative," and "this is certainly something that all fans of SFF and speculative fiction should be reading." Stories, reviews and more.

A scientist invents a machine that can travel through the fourth dimension - time. What will he find? And what will that tell him about man's inexorable pursuit of knowledge? What he discovers shocks him-and may have lessons for us all. The Invisible Man invents a way to change his body so that light is neither absorbed nor reflected. But is his new found ability a blessing or a curse? A cautionary tale of greed and hubris. As the nineteenth century drew, exhausted, to a close with its relentless pace of change, forward thinkers like H.G Wells turned their attention to the future - a future of new invention, new discovery and new dangers. For progress can come at a price: is it worth paying?

Classic Wells: The Time Machine and The Invisible Man

A collection of thirteen Steampunk stories full of high adventure and sumptuously surreal settings, We've got airships and mechanical men, a hint of magic and a strong smell of steam and gunsmoke. Our stories are set throughout time (and space) but most are rooted in a classic Victorian world that didn't quite exist, where everything is slightly sepia toned and the view from the gondola of the skyship is exquisite.
