Story
The Time Machine is a science-fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term time machine, coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device.

Garath was a gamer that spent his time adventuring in magical worlds behind a keyboard. He was exploring one of those very worlds when the planet that he actually inhabited became suddenly, and drastically more interesting. The ability to shapeshift into a house cat or summon a demon to serve him were things that were only possible in video games and epic fantasy novels, until they weren't. He may not have had the luxury of a controller or mouse to explore his new abilities, but Garath's dream came true when Earth was fundamentally altered.

They live among us. Hiding in plain sight. Until now.... West London has always been known as the quieter part of the city. That's true...for a human. But in reality, the streets are home to those that rule over the supernatural world. Werewolves have their gated communities. Vampires reside within a subterranean utopia. And the magic-wielding wizards, witches, and warlocks study their arts right under the noses of general public. It has always been that way, and because of this, there has always been peace.

Summary
H.G. Wells, one of the world's earliest and most celebrated science-fiction authors, created a number of unforgettable classics of the genre, including The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, The First Men on the Moon, and many more.
Here, we present a two-volume collection of Wells' most celebrated classics of science-fiction and horror: The Time Machine and The Island of Doctor Moreau. This audio-enhanced version - with sound effects and musical soundtrack - combines Wells' groundbreaking exploration of time travel with his "youthful blasphemy" tale of animal and human hybrids.
Enjoy both classics in one complete volume!

Classic Tales, well told...
Really enjoyed these two classics from H. G. Wells.
Kevin Theis really brings the two tales to life, and provides superbly committed and meaningful narration to the stories.
This is my first experience of Kevin's narration, and.was most impressed.
I was given this copy for free, in return for an honest review.

Classic Sci-Fi - Double the Fun
These were great. I've been meaning to read The Time Machine for many a year now and always got sidetracked so to find the audio was a great find for me. Having the Island of Doctor Moreau on it was purely bonus.
I love old sci-fi, and although these haven't dated that well, they are still excellent reads. Highly recommend.

American but still great
H.G. Wells has been one of my favorite authors for years as a teenager The Time Machine was one book I read and reread. But I'm no longer a teenager. Coming back to these stories after so long felt like coming home. They are two of the foundation of modern literature influence everything from Harry Potter to Jurassic Park.
The story are all set within London sociatily so its a little jaring to hear them read with an American accent but after a bit I got used to it. It felt as though the reader understood the stories and love them just as much as I.

An amazing double feature!
I love HG Wells but never actually finished reading either of these books. These stories still hold up very well and the production value of this audio book in particular is amazing. Love the narrator, there's sound effects, and music too. Very immersive and they're both short so they're easy listens too.

First off the fact that you get 2 books for the price of one is a great deal. Second, the narrator is second to none. They way these stories are told alongside the use of sound effects makes for a remarkable experience. Has some great scary parts to boot. So plug in your headphones, close your eyes, and get ready for a audible story that plays like a movie. Great job here guys! I will be following this narrator from here on out.
