The Invisible Man tells explores the dark side of Science, of research gone horribly wrong. Rendered invisible by his experiments, the bandage-swaddled Griffin seeks solitude in a village inn and tries desperately to discover the antidote to his horrifying condition. But his peculiar appearance is met with suspicion by the villagers and he is eventually forced from his lodgings by the terrified neighbours - with disastrous consequences for all. H G Wells' science fiction thriller is a well-deserved classic, and as relevant today as when it was first published over a hundred years ago.
