Staring this list off is H.G. Wells' dark and infamous novel, The Invisible Man, which tells the story of a scientist who turns himself invisible... but finds himself unable to revert the procedure. A captivating read touching on the boundaries of human knowledge, and the terrifying consequences that can come of crossing such boundaries.
Another brilliant novel by H.G. Wells, The Island of Doctor Moreau is a haunting tale of a mad scientist creating human/animal hybrids on an isolated island, far removed from civilised places where such a thing is forbidden. Another brilliant classic sci-fi horror book which touches on the price of interfering with the natural order of things - a common theme in H.G. Wells' work.
