About this listen

Brace yourself for the awe and terror of The Star, H.G. Wells’ powerful short story of celestial doom and human indifference. When a mysterious star hurtles through space toward Earth, astronomers issue warnings—but the world goes on, oblivious. As the star draws nearer, global chaos erupts and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

First published in 1897, The Star is a chilling tale of cosmic forces beyond our control, a blend of science, suspense, and philosophical reflection that still resonates today. This classic showcases Wells at his prophetic best—exploring our fragile place in the universe and the blindness of modern civilization in the face of existential threat.

Perfect for fans of apocalyptic fiction, cosmic horror, and thought-provoking science fiction.
