570. The Invisible Man (H. G. Wells)

Cover of first edition

Synopsis from Amazon Canada:
It began with a quiet country inn -- and a mysterious stranger, his features masked by gloves, dark glasses, and bandages that completely covered his head. Then came weird noises, the disembodied ravings, the phantom robberies, the haunted furniture .... The violence .... The rampages .... The killing. An obscure scientist named Griffin had found a way to turn skin, flesh, blood and bones invisible -- and tried the formula on himself. He could go anywhere; spy; steal; menace anyone. The Invisible Man had only two problems. He couldn't turn visible again. And he had gone quite murderously insane.

My rating: 4 stars
